Surname: McCall
-------------------------

In about 1880, my ggrandfather, William Perry McCall, and his family went
to Fresnillos,Zacatecas,MX to work on the railroad. My grandfather, who
was about 6 years of age at that time, made a taped record of this, before
his death in 1966.
He stated that they worked on what sounds like an "Executive Tunnel", but
I can't quite make it out. The tape has a lot of background noise. Does
anyone know what the name of the railroad was or if there were any tunnels
or an area of the railroad that would sound like the word 'executive'?
Thank you.
