Launch of the Freight Train Works for the Maya Train
- The freight infrastructure will be built in two stages over a period of two years and six months, generating 26,200 direct jobs.
- It will have intermodal terminals in Poxilá and Progreso, Yucatán; Cancún and Chetumal, Quintana Roo; and Palenque, Chiapas, which will serve as a connection point with the Interoceanic Train.
The Felipe Ángeles Corps of Engineers of the Ministry of National Defense will be responsible for constructing the Maya Train’s freight infrastructure, a project that will be linked to the development of the Port of Progreso, whose expansion is under the supervision of the Ministry of the Navy. Additionally, a station will be established in Palenque to connect with the Interoceanic Train.
