In 1997, a railroad named Transportación Ferroviaria Mexicana (TFM) was created as a joint venture between Kansas City Southern and the Mexican company Grupo TMM. The railroad was born out of the failing (and Mexican government-owned) railroad Ferrocarriles Nacionales de México. In 2005, Kansas City Southern bought Grupo TMM's 46.6% stake in TFM, and the railroad was renamed Kansas City Southern de Mexico. A wholly-owned subsidiary of Kansas City Southern. The paint scheme of KCS de Mexico is virtually identical to KCS.
