Rail Line Dreams Tie West Texas to Mexico Border
The South Orient railroad in West Texas links Rankin Fort Stockton and Presidio to a Mexican trade network. Texas Pacifico and Grupo Mexico invested millions to refurbish thousands of ties, reopen service in 2005, and aim for higher speeds toward the border. Potential users see reduced costs and new jobs if the line reaches 40 mph and connects with Ferromex.
