Overview

  • The project reached 4% physical completion by August 10 with more than 57 km of corridor rights-of-way cleared for track laying.
  • Officials launched a public tender in late June for 15 electric trainsets each designed for speeds up to 130 km/h, carrying more than 700 passengers, with an award expected by the end of August.
  • Army engineers are constructing elevated embankments along the route as hydraulic simulations verify operability under extreme flood events.
  • The government maintains a target to begin passenger service in the first half of 2027 with a projected travel time of about 1 hour 15 minutes between Buenavista and Pachuca, daily ridership of roughly 108,000.
  • Federal investment totals MXN 47 billion for the Pachuca–AIFA segment and MXN 27 billion for Lechería–AIFA under the broader Plan México rail expansion.
