Yes John, The only reference to this 420 km of 3'gauge railroad was being on a map and small text in April 1964 issue of TRAINS. Nothing has been publishhed anywhere else or since. It is now called Honduras National Ry and has a daily passenger train from San Pedro Sula to La Ceiba that must change trains at Tela as gauge goes from 42" west of Tela to 36" east.
It must be the most obscure railroad in world.
