Question

Which hazmats does ferromex, the mexican rail company, ships through el paso texas and juarez mexico?

Answer 1

You don't want to know.  It will only upset you to know what NAFTA has really done to our country...

Answer 2

I would ask the Department of Transportation or contact the local fire house.  The cars carrying Hazmat are placarded, but unless you know the meaning of the symbols or numbers thereon you won't know any more than when you started.

Other cars have permanent stencils of the commodities within, like liquified petroleum gas, anhydrous ammonia, etc., applied to them.

It may be more difficult to find these answers these days, but I don't know.  This information MAY be disseminated on a need to know basis, so that those who would intend to do harm to others by derailing, exploding or puncturing the cars would have a more difficult time doing so.  I think that's a stretch, but like I said, I don't know for sure.

I know the gulf side of Texas, as well as other states on the gulf, have a large petro-chemical processing capability, much of which is transported by rail.

Hope this helps......
