PASSENGER operations have begun on the 308km railway running across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec from Coatzacoalcos on the Atlantic coast and Salina Cruz on the Pacific coast of Mexico.

The upgrade has included the renovation of four stations and the construction of two new stations. “We are operating trains with capacity for up 400 passengers in three classes,” Morales Ángeles says.

The price of a single journey from Coatzacoalcos to Salina Cruz starts at Pesos 457 ($US 26.83) in tourist class, rising to Pesos 608 in executive class and Pesos 1554 in VIP.

Services are initially operating once a day in each direction, departing from both Coatzacoalcos and Salina Cruz at 07.00 with a journey time of 7 hours. The number of trains is expected to increase as demand rises.
