Locobase know little about Hacienda Pardo, but he found a Facebook post that he can't resist posting about a "forgotten bridge" posted 19 July 2026 on the Que Bonito San Luis in Villa de Reyes, SLP [San Luis Potosí] thread ([]):

As Google translated his remarks, note the role Hernancez Acevedo's Hacienda Pardo played in building this railway bridge::

"You likely aren't familiar with this architectural treasure, which sits in silence as the world forgets it.

The La Asunción Bridge is a masterpiece by Antonio Prieto, completed in 1904; until 1920, it served as a crucial link in the [27 mile; 43.5 km] Villa de Reyes railway line between Jesús María and Ojo Caliente. Built using cement, masonry, and compressed bricks from the Hacienda de Pardo, it boasts impressive dimensions: a 70-meter embankment, a height of 13 meters, and a width of 1.80 meters.

Seems likely that this tiny engine crossed this bridge from time to time.

He added: "We combined a motorcycle ride with hiking to visit the site and took the opportunity to explore the area further-staying out until nightfall. Along the way, we encountered a chapel, other ruined buildings, and a wide variety of wildlife-mostly venomous species. Yet, the sad reality we cannot ignore is that this living testament to the engineers and artisans who tamed the desert is dying in silence, left in perpetual solitude"
