| Description: |
We made a side trip from Torreon to see the spectacular path of the long abandoned Mapimi Railroad. Belonging to the Compania Minera de Penoles, the Mapimi Railroad was a 30 inch gage railroad that went from a connection with the Mexican Central at Bermejillo to a very large smelting complex at Mapimi. Just East of Mapimi was a branch to the mining town of Ojuela. Needing to gain elevation quickly, most of this branch was a Rack Railroad with grades varying between 9 at 13.6 percent. At the top of the grade in Ojuela was (and still remains) a 1067 foot suspension bridge leading across a deep cut to additional mone shafts. At one time ore cars was moved across this bridge. The former Mapimi Railroad right of way is now a paved road. These photos are all taken of or from the Mipimi Railroad Right of way. For a more thorough illustrated history of the Mapimi Railroad, visit: http://www.mexlist.com/penoles/ |

ned Mining Town |
| Description: |
We made a side trip from Torreon to see the spectacular path of the long abandoned Mapimi Railroad. Belonging to the Compania Minera de Penoles, the Mapimi Railroad was a 30 inch gage railroad that went from a connection with the Mexican Central at Bermejillo to a very large smelting complex at Mapimi. Just East of Mapimi was a branch to the mining town of Ojuela. Needing to gain elevation quickly, most of this branch was a Rack Railroad with grades varying between 9 at 13.6 percent. At the iop of the grade in Ojuela was (and still remains) a 1067 foot suspension bridge leading across a deep cut to additional mone shafts. At one time ore cars was moved acrosy this bridge. The former Mapimi Railroad right of way is now a paved road. These photos are all taken of or from the Mipimi Railroad Right of way.
