Presidio–Ojinaga International Rail Bridge
The Presidio–Ojinaga International Rail Bridge (also known as the Presidio Rail Bridge or the Puente Ferro Carril Ojinaga) is an international bridge that crosses the Rio Grande (Río Bravo) between the cities of Presidio, Texas, and Ojinaga, Chihuahua, on the United States-Mexico border. The Presidio–Ojinaga International Rail Bridge is currently closed. It was damaged by fire on 29 February 2008, but there are plans to repair it.[1] It is owned by the Mexican government and the state of Texas Department of Transportation. It was privately operated under a lease by Ferromex subsidiary Texas Pacifico Transportation.[2]
