Mexican Rails Face Dim Future
Mexico's state railroads face a dim outlook after heavy losses and multiple accidents blamed on negligence. Officials report $32.5 million in damages and 13 accidents in six months with 5 dead and 700 injured. General Manager Villasenor notes a $125 million year deficit, rising costs, stagnant revenue, and no fare hikes since 1959. Workers blame mismanagement and aging equipment, urging route cuts and scrapping 217 locomotives while unions warn of unsafe conditions.
