I know most of you don't follow Mexican railroads. But for those who do...
I was able to confirm through friends and contacts south of the border that Grupo Mexico has nearly completed the transition to NXDN on Ferromex and Ferrosur. They're still adhering to the federal 12 channel plan, however they're referring to the channels by new numbers when in use digitally (Canal 13 - Canal 25). Once complete, they'll began phasing in strapped AES-256 encryption to help combat the issues with theft. Particularly in the states of Veracruz and Puebla. The Acultzingo region of Veracruz is currently the train robbery capital of the world, with organized crime causing intentional derailments, and not minor ones, for the purposes of theft as recently as Monday.
