S. cities with a significant Americans of Mexican descent population; and because celebrating Cinco de Mayo has become increasingly popular along the U.S. – Mexico border and in parts of the U.

  • Mexico Transloads
    Mexico Transloads Traditionally, many potential rail clients in Mexico elected to not install rail spurs. High rates and poor performance drove this decision when traffic moved by rail in Mexico. Thus we have many companies today that are not rail served within Mexico. Since the privatization of the Mexican railroads, Mexican customers have been rewarded with dramatically improved rail alternatives. Today, many customers are building rail spurs into existing facilities while others are relocating in order to take advantage of rail service and economics. However, in many cases, the only option is to transload the product at the nearest rail point. This reality has created a boom in transload capabilities throughout Mexico. The other reality is the occasional need to transload product along the border gateway points. With many different needs for transloading Mexican products, our strategy is to deliver an integrated capability along with service providers and the Mexican railroads. Regardless of the transload requirements, BNSF can organize transloads via a network of service providers. Simply call or email a BNSF representative to begin the process.

  • 10 Things to Know About Puebla UNESCO City of Design
    10 things to know about Puebla UNESCO City of Design Member since 2015 1. First settlement Puebla was founded on April 16th 1531 as the first ‘perfect’ city in the Americas; that is, a city built to accommodate only Spaniards 2. Documentary heritage of the City Unlike other cities, the Archive of the City of Puebla preserves unique documents such as the original Royal Charter that establishes its foundation and its Royal Provision, showcasing the famous coat of arms of the city. Because of their importance, the aforementioned documents and many others belonging to the Archive have been inserted in the UNESCO-Mexico Memory of the World Register. 3. A Historic Centre to admire The Historic Centre of Puebla ("World Heritage" by UNESCO since December 11th 1987), contains 2619 monuments distributed across 391 blocks allocated over 6.9 square kilometres; making Puebla the city with the largest number of monuments in the Americas. 4. Mexican History and Puebla Many relevant historical events have occurred in the city of Puebla; for example, the famous “Battle of 5 de Mayo” commemorated even outside of Mexico. This battle took place in 1862 and in it the Mexican army defeated the French army (then considered the strongest of all). Furthermore, the city is the birthplace of the Mexican Revolution; on November 18th 1910 the Serdán siblings were attacked at their house by the Mexican government due to their subversive ideas and activities. The revolution movement spread across the country in the days after this attack. 5. The only place where you can find such things The Pueblan Talavera is one of the few Mexican products with protected designation of origin.

  • Hispanic Texans
    texas historical commission Hispanic texans Journey from e mpire to Democracy a GuiDe for h eritaGe travelers Hispanic, spanisH, spanisH american, mexican, mexican american, mexicano, Latino, Chicano, tejano— all have been valid terms for Texans who traced their roots to the Iberian Peninsula or Mexico. In the last 50 years, cultural identity has become even more complicated. The arrival of Cubans in the early 1960s, Puerto Ricans in the 1970s, and Central Americans in the 1980s has made for increasing diversity of the state’s Hispanic, or Latino, population. However, the Mexican branch of the Hispanic family, combining Native, European, and African elements, has left the deepest imprint on the Lone Star State. The state’s name—pronounced Tay-hahs in Spanish— derives from the old Spanish spelling of a Caddo word for friend. Since the state was named Tejas by the Spaniards, it’s not surprising that many of its most important geographic features and locations also have Spanish names. Major Texas waterways from the Sabine River to the Rio Grande were named, or renamed, by Spanish explorers and Franciscan missionaries. Although the story of Texas stretches back millennia into prehistory, its history begins with the arrival of Spanish in the last 50 years, conquistadors in the early 16th cultural identity century. Cabeza de Vaca and his has become even companions in the 1520s and more complicated. 1530s were followed by the expeditions of Coronado and De Soto in the early 1540s. In 1598, Juan de Oñate, on his way to conquer the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico, crossed the Rio Grande in the El Paso area.

  • Cinco De Mayo
    RHS Cinco de Mayo Cinco de Mayo! It's everyone's favorite Mexican holiday, a chance to listen to cool music, grab some chips and salsa and maybe even speak some Spanish with friends. But what's it all about? Most folks know enough Spanish to understand that "Cinco de Mayo" is May fifth, so it must be a special date in history, but why do Mexicans celebrate that particular day? What is Cinco de Mayo? On Cinco de Mayo, Mexicans remember the Battle of Puebla, fought on May 5, 1862. On that day, Mexicans won an important battle against the French army, which was invading Mexico. Why Was France Invading Mexico? France had a long history of interfering in Mexico's business, dating back to the famous Pastry War of 1838. In 1862, Mexico was having big problems and owed money to other countries, mainly France. France invaded Mexico to try and get their money. Why is the Battle of Puebla So Famous? Basically, the battle is famous because the Mexicans weren't supposed to win. The French army had about 6,000 soldiers and the Mexicans had only about 4,500. The French had better guns and were better trained. The French had already beaten the Mexicans a few times as they made their way to the city of Puebla, from which they planned to go to Mexico City. No one thought the Mexicans were going to win the battle…except maybe the Mexicans! What Happened at the Battle of Puebla? The Mexicans had made defenses around the city of Puebla.
