Basically, all the branch lines have been abandoned and any major lines that the private concessionaires felt didn't have enough traffic potential to pay the bills. The line to Oaxaca, the line to the Yucatan Peninsula and the line to Guatemala fell into this category. The ex-CHP line from Chihuahua to Ojinaga-Presidio is on life support as they're still having issues with the international bridge. I don't know what traffic will be routed that way because BNSF and UP have other Mexican connections at other gateways.

Glad you're enjoying them. If people reproduce them elsewhere, all I ask is that proper credit be given that I took them.
