Here's a call from a Mexlist member for station (estaciones in Spanish)
info and photos for a Mexican station website:

Dear Listeros:=20

A couple of years ago, watching trains near or in picturesque towns, and =

reading in Mexlist about modelers looking for pictures of real mexican=20
RR stations, I thought on writing the simplest page on the train=20
stations as they are nowadays in respect to listeros with a slow=20
connection, with links to HQ pictures for those interested on details.=20
Today, I am pleased to invite you to visit that page, hosted by Mexlist=20
site (Thanks Lowell) with the URL:=20
www.mexlist.com/estaciones/=20

The idea was not revolutionary. Long ago, I contacted a mexican=20
architect that is writing a book on the subject. He's taken pictures of=20
most stations during years. But, alas, his are not to be posted.=20

Once a month. I hope to update it with more photographs and some of the=20
stories I heard from locals or other sources. Want to share your own?=20
Please send them directly to my email address (below).=20

Thank You=20
