The Presidio–Ojinaga International Rail Bridge (also known as the Presidio Rail Bridge) is an international railway bridge connecting the United States-Mexico border cities of Presidio, Texas and Ojinaga, Chihuahua. It crosses the Rio Grande (Río Bravo) approximately downstream of the Presidio-Ojinaga International Bridge. Returning to service awaits completion of a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facility.
History The bridge has been out of service following fire damage on 29 February 2008. Reconstruction started in 2018. Reopening to cross-border rail service is expected to begin in 2026, after the CBP inspection station is completed.
Ownership It is owned by the Mexican government and the Texas Department of Transportation. It is privately operated under a lease by Ferromex subsidiary Texas Pacifico Transportation.
