Ferrocarril de Hornos
The Ferrocarril de Hornos was a 610 mm (2 ft) narrow-gauge railway operated by the Hacienda de Hornos in Mexico .
The Hacienda de Hornos was a large grain and cattle farm in southwest Coahuila near Torreón . The line stretched over 51 km from a transfer point with the Mexican International Railway at Hornos through the Hacienda de Hornos to Alamito with a 4 km branch to a transfer point with the Ferrocarril Coahuila y Pacifico at Viesca . Construction began in 1902 at Hornos in 1902, and the operation of mixed passenger and freight trains began in 1904 with two trains a day in each direction between Hornos and Viesca.
The railroad was damaged during the Mexican Revolution in 1914 . The last timetable was published in 1930 for a mixed train per day with no connection to Alamito. The railway line disappeared from government documents after 1945.
