Texas Pacifico Transportation


Texas Pacifico Transportation Ltd. is a Class 3 railroad operating company in West Texas that is owned by Grupo México. The company operates over the South Orient Rail Line under a lease and operating agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation and Texas Pacifico Transportation, Ltd. The Texas Pacifico company began service in March 2001.
The South Orient Rail Line runs from San Angelo Junction to the Mexican border town of Presidio, Texas. The line has been rehabilitated from San Angelo Junction through San Angelo and on to Alpine, Texas. Capital improvements are underway for the remaining Excepted track.
Texas Pacifico interchanges with BNSF Railway and Fort Worth and Western Railroad at San Angelo Junction and Union Pacific Railroad at Alpine. Traffic was interchanged with Ferromex at Presidio over the Presidio–Ojinaga International Rail Bridge, but the bridge has been out of service following fire damage on 29 February 2008. Service into Mexico over the substantially repaired bridge is expected to resume in early 2021.
