Links PDF of the  Secretaría de Comunicaciones y Obras Publicas roster. Description This is a nine-page detailed roster with a full bibliography. This is the final completed version of this project. The roster began with compiling a roster distilled from Baja-California Railways  by John A. Kirchner. This compiled roster was compared to the  Alco  and  Montreal Locomotive Works  (which includes Bombardier) builder's lists found on this blog and the primary EMD Locomotive Reference Data cited below in the Bibliography. Those provided accurate builder's dates (actually the shipping dates that all builders use as the builder date) and order numbers. Status This is an incomplete project . Although accurate, more entries remain to be added.

 Ferrocarril del Pacifico train 52 at Agua Zarca, Sonora, Ocotober 24, 1982. Photographer: Craig Garver. Scanned from a 35mm Kodachrome slide owned by Digital Rail Artist. Train 52, the daily through freight ( "Carga Directo" ) from Nogales to Guadalajara, has stopped for train orders at Agua Zarca, Sonora, 19.4 kilometers south of the international border at Nogales.  There's really nothing to the town, just the train order station, where the agent lived, and a handful of people living in a few homes nearby. Train 52's crew has left Nogales yard at 10 a.m. this Sunday morning, and climbed the grueling 2.2% grade to Encina, 5.4 kilometers south, and has descended 8.9 kilometers of 2.2% down to Agua Zarca. Today's power is U30C 402 and probably another U30C or a U36C. The entire trip should have taken 22 minutes according to the timetable. That's probably the head brakeman in the center of the photo, registering. It's all timetable and train order authority
