A passenger train waits on the Mexican end of the international rail bridge in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, on July 24, 1999. Train 2 for Saltillo originates in Peidras Negras. It has backed onto the bridge to clear a switch to the passenger loading track. The consist is EMD switcher 8814 (running cab-forward) and two open-window coaches (this one being 4391). Just beyond the rail bridge is a new four-lane highway bridge, soon to open.
