Personnel from the Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation (SICT), the Ministry of Defense, and the private Ferromex rail company recently evaluated the railway track extending from Guadalajara’s main train station on Avenida Washington to the small town of La Capilla del Refugio in the municipality of Ixtlahuacán de los Membrillos.
This visit was part of the preliminary phase for the planned Mexico City-Guadalajara passenger train, which the current federal administration aims to complete before the end of President Claudia Sheinbaum’s term in 2030.
According to SICT, the working group also inspected several key locations along the rail corridor from the Guanajuato border to the Guadalajara metropolitan area.
