With a C30-7 and a SD40-2 as power, a short 9 car Turno Mexico-Huehuetoca passes by the Barrientos tunnel (the only one in FTVM territory) on their way to the Lecheria yard, where they'll drop off it's train so it's easier for the crew to do their first movements.
A caboose hitches a ride on the rear as this job now adventures into Ferrosur territory to Tula, Hidalgo on Linea A. FSRR requires all trains to indicate the rear of it, and since FTVM doesn't own any EOTD's, then cabooses are the choice, not a bad one at all!

The train doesn't completely impede sightlines here at Lechería. The Servicio of the same name comes east onto Linea TS after ducking under the Suburbano overpass in the background. On this side of the Suburbano bridge you have Linea B towards Tula and Huehuetoca, Linea TS as a roundabout way to Linea S at Teotihuacan, and a long yard lead for Patio Lechería. On the west side of the overpass are some industrial tracks as well as Linea A continuing north towards Tula and Huehuetoca as well. A fascinating spot to make a little sense of how Mexican Railroads operate.

Heck, there is even a pass track or two up Ferrosur to the northeast. We are only a handful of miles north of Valle de Mexico. As with most in the country, when things get overcrowded and dense, they hold nothing back.

The building of the Suburbano has drastically changed the view at Lechería. FNM ditched all passenger train efforts in 1997. A little more than 10 years later in 2008 the Suburbano opened to service, fortunately using a lot of the electrification infrastructure already left in place.

Vicente Casares
Vicente Casares es una localidad del Partido de Cañuelas, Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Lleva ese nombre en homenaje a Vicente Lorenzo del Rosario Casares, fundador de la estancia “San Martín” y de la primera industria láctea de la Argentina, La Martona.
Cuenta con 787 habitantes (INDEC, 2010), lo que representa un incremento del 25% frente a los 629 habitantes (INDEC, 2001) del censo anterior.
El nombre "La Martona" deriva de "Marta", la fornida hermana de don Vicente y madre del escritor Adolfo Bioy Casares.
La fábrica –que aún se conserva frente a la estación ferroviaria de Vicente Casares, en el partido de Cañuelas– procesaba la leche proveniente de 52 tambos distribuidos en las 7 mil hectáreas de la estancia San Martín.
Su imagen característica era la cabeza estilizada de un gato, la marca que se utilizaba para herrar el ganado.
En 1886 Casares dio los primeros pasos mediante la producción de quesos, pero los resultados no fueron exitosos porque no existían buenos métodos de refrigeración.
Tres años más tarde surgió La Martona, con una idea fundamental, novedosa en el país: su proyecto consistía en organizar un sistema integrado de producción, que atendiera las tres etapas productivas: la agropecuaria, la industrial y la comercial.
En el aspecto productivo, La Martona se caracterizó por sus grandes avances tecnológicos. Desde 1890 utilizó papel sulfurizado para envasar la manteca (antes de eso se usaban trozos de tela). En 1893 inició las primeras exportaciones de este producto hacia Inglaterra.
En 1902 comenzó a producir dulce de leche en forma industrial siguiendo las recetas tradicionales de la colonia.
Hacia el año 1916 adquirió la primera desnatadora Westfalia que hubo en el país, traída desde Oelde, Alemania. En 1941 –antes que en Estados Unidos– implementó los camiones térmicos para recolectar la leche en los tambos.
En 1960 instaló una empaquetadora de manteca de alta velocidad; en 1961 introdujo el envase de cartón para la leche fluida; y en 1962 instaló la primera embotelladora en el país capaz de llenar y cerrar 12.000 botellas por hora. En los ‘70 desarrolló, en forma pionera, el yogur con colchón de frutas y el jugo de naranjas en botellón de vidrio.
El periodista francés Jules Hert, en una visita que realizó a Cañuelas en 1911, escribía: "Debo subrayar el hecho de que el establecimiento La Martona sobrepasa en el tratamiento higiénico de la leche a todos los de las capitales europeas, excepto Copenhague. La gran lechería Balle que distribuye a Berlín la mayor parte de la leche de consumo no llega a tal grado de perfección sino después de la del Sr. Casares".
Todos estos antecedentes propiciaron que en el año 1989 -a cien años de la creación de La Martona- la Honorable Cámara de Diputados de la Nación declarara por unanimidad a Cañuelas Cuna Nacional de la Industria Lechera (Res. 28/9/89). La fecha se recuerda cada 27 de noviembre.
TRASLATOR
Vicente Casares
Vicente Casares is a locality of the Party of Cañuelas, Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
It bears that name in tribute to Vicente Lorenzo del Rosario Casares, founder of the estancia "San Martín" and the first dairy industry of Argentina, La Martona.
It has 787 inhabitants (INDEC, 2010), which represents an increase of 25% compared to the 629 inhabitants (INDEC, 2001) of the previous census.
The name "La Martona" derives from "Marta", the fornida sister of Don Vicente and mother of the writer Adolfo Bioy Casares.
The factory - which is still conserved in front of the Vicente Casares railway station in the Cañuelas party - processed the milk from 52 dairies distributed on the 7,000 hectares of the San Martín estancia.
Its characteristic image was the stylized head of a cat, the mark that was used to iron cattle.
In 1886 Casares took the first steps by producing cheese, but the results were not successful because there were no good methods of refrigeration.
Three years later La Martona was born, with a fundamental idea, new in the country: its project was to organize an integrated production system, which would take care of the three productive stages: agricultural, industrial and commercial.
In the productive aspect, La Martona was characterized by its great technological advances. From 1890 he used sulfurized paper to package the butter (before that pieces of cloth were used). In 1893 began the first exports of this product towards England.
In 1902 began to produce dulce de leche in industrial form following the traditional recipes of the colony.
Towards the year 1916 acquired the first skimmer Westfalia that had in the country, brought from Oelde, Germany. In 1941 - before in the United States - it implemented the thermal trucks to collect milk in the tambos.
In 1960 he installed a high-speed butter packer; in 1961 he introduced the carton for fluid milk; and in 1962 installed the first bottler in the country capable of filling and closing 12,000 bottles per hour. In the 1970s he developed, in a pioneering way, the yogurt with fruit cushion and the juice of oranges in glass bottle.
The French journalist Jules Hert, in a visit he made to Cañuelas in 1911, wrote: "I must underline the fact that the La Martona establishment surpasses all the European capital cities except Copenhagen in the hygienic treatment of milk. Balle dairy which distributes most of consumer milk to Berlin does not reach such perfection as after that of Mr. Casares. "
All these antecedents led to the fact that in 1989, one hundred years after the creation of La Martona, the Honorable Chamber of Deputies of the Nation unanimously declared to Cañuelas the National Cradle of the Milk Industry (Res. 28/9/89). The date is remembered every 27 November.

After finishing all their assigned work for the day, FTVM's TMXHUE heads back to the Valle de Mexico terminal for a well deserved rest. Here, they are seen waiting for the Lecheria Yard Master to give them authorization to enter it's yard limits, on a not so nice area to be parked for a long period of time.
From what I've heard and read lately, these 5 HLCX units are actually bought by FTVM! Part of a program to expand their motive power by 10 units, wonder which will be the other 5.

With both líneas TS and H (the main arteries for trains going to and coming from southern México) blocked by traffic ahead of them, two crew members of a Ferrosur chemical train take a walk to a nearby Oxxo to grab some snacks. Most street perritos in México are quite wary of humans, and very few seek attention or will let you approach them, but this black dog was the sweetest girl.

En 1845 el gobierno Chileno inicio el proceso de "Colonización Alemana" con la traida de colonos de orígenes alemán y austrohúngaro. El objetivo era la explotación de los abundantes recursos naturales de la zona sur, incorporar efectivamente dichos territorios a la soberanía del país y así evitar la ocupación de la zona por potencias extranjeras, y de llevar población de origen europeo en zonas donde había en su mayoría principalmente comunidades nativas de origen Huilliche.
La zona de colonización se extendió desde la región de Valdivia hasta la Isla de Chiloé con la entrega de tierras, ganado, herramientas, alimentos y materiales a los nuevos habitantes. Se estima que en este periodo entre 30.000 a 40.000 alemanes llegaron al sur de Chile, en la actualidad hay entre 500.000 y 600.000 decendientes directos de esos colonos. Su presencia significo una fuerte influencia alemana en la arquitectura, cultura y tradiciones del sur de Chile.
Esta influencia es evidente en la arquitectura de todos los galpones y graneros que se puede encontrar en zonas rurales de la Región de Los Lagos siendo un componente importante del territorio y del paisaje, teniendo algunos más de 120 años de antiguedad. Estos antiguos galpones no sólo eran utilizados como grandes despensas: muchas familias dormían dentro y era el hogar provisorio para comenzar a echar raíces. Todo se basaba en la lechería, la agricultura y los animales, que debían mantenerse bien abrigados. Una vez que se tenía el dinero, se hacía la casona para vivir.
--------------------------
In 1845 the Chilean government began the process of "German Colonization" with the settlers brought from German and Austro-Hungarian origins. The aim was the exploitation of the abundant natural resources of the south, effectively incorporate these territories to the country's sovereignty and avoid the occupation of the area by foreign powers, and to bring people of European origin in areas where there were mostly mainly Huilliche native communities of origin.
The settlement area extended from the region of Valdivia to Chiloe Island with the delivery of land, livestock, tools, food and supplies to the new settlers. It is estimated that in the period between 30,000 to 40,000 Germans arrived in southern Chile, there are currently between 500,000 and 600,000 direct descendants of these settlers. His presence meant a strong German influence in the architecture, culture and traditions of the south of Chile.
This influence is evident in the architecture of all the sheds and barns that can be found in rural areas of the Region of Los Lagos remains an important component of the territory and landscape, with some over 120 years old. These old barns were not only used as large pantries: many families slept in and was the temporary home to begin to take root. Everything was based on dairy, agriculture and animals, which were kept well wrapped. Once the money was, the house was made to live.
After switching out an empty KCS grain train out of the Contri grain facility and setting it off in the siding for later pick up by a road crew, FTVM C30-7 No. 11012 and leased FXE SD40-2 No, 3127 with a short string of hoppers arrive into the Apodaca Intermodal yard to retrieve a long string of recently loaded flat car's and take them to the Lecheria yard.
Even with all said switching completed, not even half of their shift has been completed, oh how fun is Turno Huehuetoca for it's crew.
