Ferrocarriles Unidos de Yucatán


Ferrocarriles Unidos de Yucatán was a 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge railroad that operated in the state of Yucatán in Mexico. The last two 4-4-0 steam locomotives (No. 80 and No. 81) built by Baldwin Locomotive Works were made for this railroad in 1946. Locals referred to its locomotives as toros de fuegos (English: bulls of fire).

Five of this railroad's steam locomotives were bought by Roger Broggie on behalf of the The Walt Disney Company in 1969. Four of these were completely rebuilt and are currently operating on the Walt Disney World Railroad. The fifth engine, which was deemed to be in too poor condition for operation, was sold off and is presumed to have been scrapped.
