A grade crossing lies along the highway between Nuevo Laredo and the new Sánchez yard. This was one of those times when the photographer has barely enough time to jump out of his car and snap the photo. As soon as the locomotive has crossed the highway, he runs across the track and gets a zoomed shot as it rushes toward its next assignment. The subject is TFM AC4400CW 2600, the first in a class of 50 such units received from GE during the summer of 1998.
