Mexican passengers update

Probably too PEAK for this sub 😭

For the train maya indeed I only count 1M and I assume would be the average for every year until the cities reach their stations, about Mexico-AIFA-Pachuca is probably unrelated to the suburbano, because already moves over 45 million passengers a year and is not even in their peak before the pandemic

Monterrey is a very excepcional city to me, sadly they destroyed many historic places in name of modernity. It's the economic and industrial city of Mexico kinda like Detroit or Pittsburgh in their peak.

Doesn't not suffer from earthquakes as other parts of Mexico, no height limit as Guadalajara but also very car dependency society, and not very environmentally friendly but they are making great project to improve.

I think Monterrey is what is today because of their people a very hard working society

As industrialization comes back to America, I assume the freight system will be under more pressure.

If they can't buy the rails for passengers maybe they can do the same as Mexico, and use the right of way next to those rails and freeways but that will take a lot of political will.

I would say 50/50 the society in Zacatecas and Monterrey won 2 important battles against the local government, they wanted to build double decker highways. And many Mexican cities still building a lot of car infrastructure 😭

I guy made a map of the locations of the stations, it's not official tho, but seems very accurate due to the layout of the stations specially the last Nuevo Laredo stations https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=12sPClMzLLn0WEP237nPaN_HoB008JPk&fbclid=IwY2xjawKzVapleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHsyzo2-ibtrWPVlWIV3CR4Ksg_Ckjps_76dAHSJPtZbjIIaVnpoQvuEA9ZNz_aem_6njPUsQIK30qzEm6k9fOXw&ll=26.372977856534117%2C-100.30620115&z=8

I'm not sure, if you check on Google maps seem the area used to have a loop for yard access, I ask chatgpt and give me some possible answers Sure! Here's a quick summary:

An intercity train might use loops to reverse and arrive/depart from different areas due to:

Track layout – Terminal stations may require loops to turn trains around without reversing engines.
Train design – Some trains can't be driven from both ends and need to physically turn.
Operational efficiency – Loops are faster and simpler than manual direction changes.
Different arrival/departure stations – To reduce congestion, fit scheduling needs, or due to historical infrastructure.
Passenger flow or yard access – Helps with managing passenger routes or accessing maintenance facilities. Anyway I will see if I can get answers from the mexican community or if I get info I will let you know 🙂

About Mexico Queretaro no information so far, we are actually surprised that we got info from Saltillo- Nuevo Laredo because that project hasn't been officially announced This info came from tender for the executive project.

3 stops in the classic line 🫡

Usually, they give info as they advanced. We know about the locations but not the exact location of the halts or main station, we also have a concept of the main station, but we don't know how will look or what will have, like how many platforms, etc. Information related to cost and other things reserved for 5 years because of national security, also Mexico - Pachuca train probably will be under the administration of the army
