		And so it was that the Mexican National and the Mexican Central Railroads were built and soon became and remained major north-south conduits of people and goods for almost the entire Twentieth Century.
		In essence, the Mexican Central Railroad, linking up with the Santa Fe at El Paso/Ciudad Juárez, became an extension of the Santa Fe into Mexico, in large part because it was owned by the same group of Boston financiers who controlled the American company and it was chartered by the state of Massachusetts.
		It is not likely that President Díaz and his advisers foresaw that the network would draw such large numbers of Mexicans away from their homes and lead to a dramatic increase in the Mexican-American population of their northern neighbor.
