Eagle Pass, TX, January 30, 2013— 

The new generation Hybrid has arrived to Ancira Eagle Pass Ford. It’s the all new 47 mpg-combined 2013 C-MAX. Sure, Hybrids conserve fuel and reduce emissions but when it comes to the daily need for performance, comfort, room and convenience, most hybrids compromise. Not the all-new 2013 Ford C-MAX.

“We’re very excited about the all new C-MAX,” says Werner Johnson, Vice President of Ancira Eagle Pass Ford. “Hybrid vehicles often compromise on several areas. With the all new C-MAX, you don’t just get superb gas mileage, but also comfort and convenience.”

Werner Johnson also informed the community about the “Ancira Eagle Pass Ford $500 Guarantee.” Starting this month, Ancira Eagle Pass Ford will beat any legitimate deal on a new Ford by $500. Any Ford car, truck or SUV will be $500 less than the lowest price anywhere. 

Serving South Texas for over forty years, Ancira Enterprises proudly employs more than 700 people and continues to grow through remodeling, expansion, and new store openings like the upcoming ones in Eagle Pass.

As the one million plus in attendance at the historic second inauguration of President Barack Obama gazed at the dais which symbolically rose above eye level at one of the most historic events in American history, a nostalgic freshman congressman was also taking it all in for his family, his state and for all of us, his newest constituents on a cool, winter day in our nation's capital. 

"As I stood on the dais watching, and having the opportunity to be so close to what will be one of the greatest moments in history, I had to think of my parents and grandparents," stated The Honorable Pete Gallego, newly elected US Congressman, "And what a great country we live in, we really have come a long way."

A train was derailed this Friday morning in the Thompson Rd. area in northern Eagle Pass. The train engine had apparently fallen of the tracks as it passed. 

Both Fire department and Sheriff's department were on scene to lend a hand and fortunately there were no injuries reported as part of the incident. The train was headed out of Eagle Pass at approximately 6:30 a.m. when the derailment was reported and left the train engine at a decline tilted off of the tracks. A special crane was used to lift the engine and secure it properly onto the tracks. Due to the incident traffic on the track was halted for a matter of hours and was resumed at around noon on Friday. Employees from Union Pacific are responsible for reviewing the causes of the accident.
