The steam locomotive seen simmering in the background during the knife and gun contest is narrow-gauge (3-ft.) Ferrocarril Interocanico de Mexico (Interoceanic Railway of Mexico) G-023 class 2-8-0, No. 67, built by the American Locomotive Co. (ALCO) in September 1899, with builder #5210, which operated on a line between Mexico City and Cuautla, operating until at least 1967--that line was standard-gauged in 1973. The engine survives, initially as a display at the Monument to the Revolution in Mexico City, and now at the Museo de los Ferrocarileros, in the old La Villa station north of Mexico City.
