The railroad operated from 1898 until 1945; it was nationalized by the Mexican Government in 1925. The owner of record was Louis T. Haggin the son of American mogul James Ben Ali Haggin who was a great friend and business associate of the railroad’s General Manager the colorful Gen. John Baptist Frisbie. Frisbie died in 1909; the General Manager listed on this pamphlet is his son Luis Platon Frisbie. However William K. Boone’s Wikipedia entry states that he was the General Manager from 1909 to 1926 “except for a few times during the Mexican Revolution 1910–1920 when he had to seek refuge in the American Embassy at Mexico City and move temporarily to the US fearing that his life was at stake”. The latest citation to the printer F.P. Hoeck that we could find was 1907. H. T. Greene the Traffic Manager was active in the late 1800s and as that as the early 1900s.
