Interoceanic Railway of Mexico

The railroad Ferrocarril de México Interoceanico was an early railway company in Mexico :) ( map with a route network between the port of Veracruz and Mexico City over Xalapa and various branching paths.

The lines of the Ferrocarril Interoceanico, which had been built in 1888 as a company with headquarters in London, consisted of different sections that had been partially built already much earlier by other companies from Vera Cruz and some of which were operated with the use of draft animals and different track widths exhibited. The latter were converted to narrow gauge (914 mm). The original goal of a separate connection to the port of Acapulco was not achieved, it emerged only two route stumps ( Mexico City to Puente de Ixtla about Cuautla with connection to a well planned but never completed line of the Ferrocarril Central Mexicano to a port unspecified on the Pacific, as well as their own route to Acapulco, Puebla realized over Izúcar de Matamoros only to Tlanicualpilcan ). The route stumps were joined later. Since 1902, the company was in the Mexican state-owned Ferrocarriles Nacionales later de México. Between 1947 and 1948, the narrow gauge lines were converted to standard gauge and thereby partially realigned. A great deal has been abandoned in the wake of the privatization of the Mexican railways.
