Ferrocarriles Unidos del Sureste was a company that operated a railroad in southeastern Mexico. In the 1930s the Mexican government decided to build a railroad into the Yucatán, connecting the national system with the isolated Ferrocarriles Unidos de Yucatán.[http://www.mexlist.com/40foot/PartV.htm FERROCARRILES UNIDOS del SURESTE] The project was completed in 1950 as the Ferrocarril del Sureste and commemorated with a 5 peso coin.{{Cite web |url=http://cointypes.info/mexico/mex5p.htm |title=United Mexican States Coins: Type Collecting - Five Pesos |access-date=2010-07-06 |archive-date=2017-10-17 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171017042514/http://cointypes.info/mexico/mex5p.htm |url-status=dead }} In 1975 the Yucatán and Southeast systems were merged into the Ferrocarriles Unidos del Sureste. The system was privatized in 1999, becoming part of Ferrocarriles Chiapas-Mayab (FCCM) until 2007[http://www.allbusiness.com/legal/property-law-real-property-easements-rights-way/5522730-1.html SOUTHEASTERN RAILROAD CEASES OPERATIONS, STRANDS THOUSANDS OF CENTRAL AMERICAN IMMIGRANTS IN MEXICO.] and since part of Ferrocarril del Istmo de Tehuantepec.
