It's a beautiful "Día del Año Nuevo" as KCSM conductor Pablo Pérez Espinoza, a veteran of the TFM and FNM, stands front and center with his back to his train (and the camera) as he watches MofW workers repair the switch at Conexión Sur. About 15 minutes later, Pérez took his train, the A-SANL-01 (Automovíl - Saltillo to Nuevo Laredo of Jan 01) through on the track seen to the left. The track to the right is the mainline into Monterrey and ultimatley to Matamoros. The MofW workers were repairing damage caused by a derailment of a southbound train the night before.
