New York, Texas and Mexican Railway

The New York, Texas and Mexican Railway Company was a railroad business chartered in 1880 to connect New York City with Mexico City with the initial tracks laid in Texas (1880–1905).

[1] Known colloquially as The Macaroni Line,[2] it was established by Joseph Telfener, an Italian engineer and financier.

[3][4] The company issued stock and sought land grants but violated an agreement on its starting point.

In 1905 it was merged with Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio Railway Company.

He and Telfener named its first six stations (Mackay, Telferner(sic), Hungerford, Edna, Inez, and Louise) after themselves and their family members.
