Tom C.- Mexico freight hoppingthat photo is a bit of an optical illusion... it is a cat walk on the top of a tank car... we mostly were in an open top empty gondola car
Jonathan with a Mercury in Ciudad Mante with one of the colorful cars I kept seeing and the boy in the photos was often out on the street and we became friends so he joined in the photo
Jonathan with a Mercury on the street in Ciudad Mante, Mexico-1978..
Jonathan in Ciudad Mante with a DeSoto 1978
Jonathan Fischer, in Ciudad Mante, Mexico 1978 with Chevy ... Mexico like Cuba at this time was a car heaven for 1950 era vehicles!
