Company History: LFCD was born in 1998 as part of the dismemberment and privatization of the National Railways of Mexico. LFCD operates in the states of Durango and Coahuila in Mexico. The company began as a joint venture between Industrias Peñoles and Altos Hornos de Mexico but Altos has since left the partnership. The LFCD covers a swath of territory from Durango (east of Mazatlan) to Sabinas (southwest of Eagle Pass, Texas.)
