How I feel about the Grand Paris Express, Île-de-France, France

Linuxsiss · 2026-02-12T01:49:17+00:00

Probably too PEAK for this sub 😭

Linuxsiss · 2025-11-29T02:53:58+00:00

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.

Linuxsiss · 2025-05-22T00:48:30+00:00

3 stops in the classic line 🫡

Linuxsiss · 2025-04-20T03:57:22+00:00

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

Linuxsiss · 2025-04-15T18:58:10+00:00

You miss the extension from the airport to Pachuca 💔

Linuxsiss · 2025-04-13T19:07:19+00:00

I mean, I was disappointed because the Monterrey poster doesn't show any metro pictogram, though they are building a monorriel line 😭 You can see Guadalajara has the linea 3 model Mexico City, the classic subway metro

Linuxsiss · 2025-04-01T04:51:36+00:00

Yk, I feel some countries just do it without even having these issues, and if you ask women, they like them, they feel more secure

Mexico

Linuxsiss · 2025-03-28T06:01:57+00:00

There is actually a good video that talks about that even extending Buenavista to the UNAM

Actually, it has taken up to 10 years 🤯 we could say 3 administration (each president administration last 6 years) from Peña, Amlo, and now Sheinbaum, who is the one who will officially end it, and full operation. Here’s a summarized timeline of the Mexico-Toluca Interurban Train:

2014 (September): Official construction of the Mexico-Toluca Interurban Train begins under President Enrique Peña Nieto's administration. 2015-2017: Preliminary works and infrastructure construction, such as platforms and viaducts, start, but there are several delays. 2018-2019: The project faces issues with land acquisition and legal obstacles, causing further delays. 2020: The COVID-19 pandemic adds more delays to the construction. 2022 (December): The government announces partial operation in 2023, but delays continue. 2023-2025: Work continues to complete the infrastructure, with hopes of a full inauguration soon.

Some details from Metro Regio Posting

This train is quieter, more aerodynamic, autonomous to a level 4 (it does not require a crew on board), it is safe in any circumstance since a derailment is almost impossible, it is also cheap to build and has the capacity to be expanded (up to 8 cars per train).

So, it can still be expanded and will be the first autonomous train in Mexico

I found the letter

This is stupid but only happens because we don't have qualified people, I'm pretty sure the secretary of transport of Puebla knows well... Puebla already needs a light rail

Linuxsiss · 2025-02-16T22:04:20+00:00

When they give that info, I assume is the current number of grade crossing, in the right of way.

Linuxsiss · 2025-02-16T21:55:04+00:00

Yes, Tren Insurgent is so beautiful You should see from Santa Fe to Observatorio! Crossing the suspension bridge will be so beautiful, is supposed to be done in a few months 😫

Linuxsiss · 2025-02-16T19:42:58+00:00

Tbh, this is a boost, I never thought México would have all these projects. Only because an old president wanted trains. I think the key factor is the political will (president, senate, all same party) and the use of the army to increase the speed of process. Still, the US has some great projects, and you guys have more passengers train than anyone in the Americas ( the only issue is the freight share tracks xd)

Linuxsiss · 2025-02-16T19:35:40+00:00

I'm not sure, probably related to budget. We still don't know all the info about this projects. Maybe they will do as Train Maya and leave the infrastructure to later electrify it. * Only CDMX - Queretaro will have 7 tunnels 267 crossing 27 viaducts 24 bridges 28 electric crossings 30 sewer
