The Línea Coahuila Durango (reporting mark LFCD)[1] is a short-line railroad company operating between the states of Durango and Coahuila in Mexico. It was created as a freight railroad company when the Ferrocarriles Nacionales de Mexico was privatized between 1997 and 1998.[2] It started operations on 27 April 1998.[3] The concession to run the company was purchased by a joint venture including Altos Hornos de Mexico and Peñoles. Control of the company is now in the hands of Industrias Peñoles.
