From one season to the next, The El Paso Locomotive have gone from last place in the United Soccer League Championship’s (USL) Western Conference, to fighting for a spot at the top of the table.

New Head Coach, Wilmer Cabrera, former MLS coach and World Cup player, has brought a new mentality to El Paso’s soccer team that has fueled the 915’s ‘Crazy Train.’

As The Locomotive get to the midway point of the USL season however, they’ll have to continue the fight that has earned them their current six wins after a heartbreaking loss to in-state and Copa Tejas rival, San Antonio FC.
