This Nacionales de Mexico car was southbound on a grain train at Watts. There are still some of these kicking around on the KCS, and often return to their homeland.

Title:
Always like to shoot these
Description:
KCS inherited a fleet of former National of Mexico cars when it took over part of that roads operations as part of the privatization of Mexican railroads. I recall seeing these years ago when I lived in NY. Now they are not so common. This one was northbound on an empty grain train.
