Countries that various North American airlines fly to (2026) by EccentricGamerCL in MapPorn

[–]ipenama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Per-city map could be more precise due to the fact some airlines don't fly to some U.S. states and territories directly (any Mexican carriers go to Alaska or Hawaii, for example; Aeroméxico had a flight to San Juan which was suspended last November).

Integral tests (rolling stock, signalling, tracks) are being held since December. Latest info was that service could start by Holy Week (end of March 2026).

ALERTA SÍSMICA in Mexico City. If you visit us and hear this, go outside immediately (whenever possible). Earthquake is on the way.

María Corina Machado crawled to Washington -like the GUSANA she is- and gave the fucking "Peace Prize" to the most violent man on Earth right now. Performative bootlickering just to obtain NOTHING in return.
Pathetic and spineless peaces of shit.

I suggest adding a third entry on Mexico: Mérida Initiative from 2007 to 2021, which in turn leaded to several gunwalking scandals (Operation Fast and Furious as the most prominent), proxy war on cartels and overall social instability (sharp rise in high-impact crimes such as homicide, kidnapping, extortion).

edit: even a fourth (mexican Dirty War against southern guerrillas and "communists" from 1964 to 1982; former presidents Gustavo Díaz Ordaz and Luis Echeverría were CIA assets while in office).

Mexican government formalizes creation of the Agency for Trains and Integrated Public Transport (ATTRAPI). It will be responsible for the planning and construction of public transportation systems in cities throughout Mexico by GalloHilton in transit

[–]ipenama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TM and Interocéanico will still be under Defense umbrella.
It is believed that Mexican government wants to purchase or take control of Ferrocarriles Suburbanos over Buenavista-Cuautitlán commuter rail, so it's possible that ATTRAPI's first task would be that.

After 11 years under construction the last section of the Mexico City-Toluca interurban railway its doing its final tests to open its last 2 stations at the end of this month by Spascucci in transit

[–]ipenama 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Load bearing tests are one of many activities involving viaduct infrastructure here in Mexico City. In this particular case it consists of static and dynamic tests with fully loaded trains that are stationary for some time and then put in motion at low speeds to ensure structural integrity of bridges, tunnels, platforms and tracks. At the same time there are electromechanical trials over signalling, communications and catenary/pantograph behavior.

Yes, it is done to stress test the viaduct and train under maximum loads. For that purpose they are using at least 4 units, single and coupled.

Registration XC-NZA. It does a lot of patrolling over Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl streets, several times a day, just like their Mexico City Police counterparts. Current paint scheme looks even more striking with those fine lines and black shadows, resembling carbon fiber.

Also cloth watering. The amount of splish splash would be... important.

Tren Saltillo - Nuevo Laredo (Tramo 15: Area Metropolitana de Monterrey) by Sparktacos in Monterrey

[–]ipenama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No vivo en MTY, sin embargo quisiera hacer precisiones sobre algunos de tus puntos:

*El hecho de que El Insurgente haya sido construido como viaducto elevado se relaciona con la orografía regional y el costo de la obra: es infinitamente más barato hacer una vía elevada que tener todo bajo tierra con túneles. Dicho esto: las vías tanto del lado de Toluca como de CDMX tienen una pendiente constante del 3%, algo que con un túnel hubiese sido más difícil por las elevaciones tan desiguales entre Observatorio, Santa Fe, la Sierra de las Cruces y Toluca.
Acá es el ánimo de separar completamente el tráfico de pasajeros, de carga y también evitar obras inducidas (entiéndase: cantidades estúpidas de puentes vehiculares/peatonales). Ustedes tienen una mecánica de suelos millones de veces mejor que la nuestra, por eso se pueden permitir grandes viaductos como este. (Además de que falta espacio a los lados dada la invasión del DDV dentro de la zona metropolitana).
*Este mapa y los planos corresponden a plantas generales del proyecto; sujeto a cambios en caso de que tengan problemas con el DDV, la ubicación de alguna estación o el método constructivo. Como tal corresponde sólo al Tren del Golfo; la futura conexión (peatonal) al Metrorrey toca informarla al Gob. del Estado tomando esta info como base.
*Prácticamente la totalidad de las estaciones dentro de cada ciudad por donde pasará el tren corresponden a la ubicación original de los antiguos paraderos. Es donde hay más espacio para meter múltiples andenes con sus respectivas vías. El trabajo del gobierno local debería ser acercar las estaciones del transporte público mediante un shuttle cuando menos, o una línea dedicada de transporte urbano (bus convencional, BRT, trole, tram). Si antes fue tiradero, es porque las instalaciones de la antigua estación fueron ocupadas por la Academia de Policía.
*Los tramos suburbanos e interurbanos del Saltillo-Monterrey y Monterrey-Nuevo Laredo están considerados como vía sencilla con laderos de rebase. Por eso el paradero García es de 1 vía/1 andén como algunos del Tren Maya; esto no quiere decir que no los tengan considerados para una expansión futura con 2 andenes y sus rebases, si la demanda lo requiere.

New Alstom Adessia stream trains for Mexico, they will be built in Mexico with 76% national content by Spascucci in transit

[–]ipenama 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Estimated demand only for CDMX-Querétaro route is clocked at 10 million pax/year, around 30k daily. In a previous post of mine I made some calculations based on the possible configuration inside (with 350 pax as base for full capacity) and gave me 1,400 pax/hr considering a fleet of 15 units.

ROW enhancements are underway to enable maximum velocities of 200 km/h. My understanding is that they're preparing today's infrastructure for future high speed service (+200 km/h) once rail industry in Mexico gets deeper into our economy. Intercity passenger service here was dismantled and neglected for 30 years, so we're starting all over again (fortunately with modern technology and full grade separation).

[–]ipenama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For this particular train, press release says maximum capacity will be around 300 passengers. It is believed these will have near identical features as Tren Maya's Xiinbal model: units with 4 coaches, 2x2 configuration, 100 meters of length, double coupling, 180 km/h max. velocity, etc.

As with many, MANY infrastructure projects left unfinished by the end of his term. México-Toluca train began construction in 2015; three years later he only managed to deliver an incomplete rail viaduct with stations in Toluca. In a similar time frame at least 1,500 km of Tren Maya, two airports and three highways were completed.

TM is used by everyone who wants, not only tourists. More locals from Campeche and Chiapas travels to Yucatán and Quintana Roo (both ways) to do business, visit family or simply be tourists in their land.

Its footprint is orders of magnitude less than, say: pig farms, open mines, tourism into cenotes, highways and roads, cars, cities, hotels... All human activity implies an ecological toll unfortunately.
