en.Wedoany.com Reported - Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum recently announced during a supervision tour in Hidalgo state that the Mexico City-Pachuca passenger railway project has reached 30% construction progress. The project is expected to cost 44 billion pesos and will be operated as a public service by Mexico's National Infrastructure Fund, forming part of the Federal Railway Network Expansion Plan.

According to data provided by Mexico's National Banking and Public Credit Board, this passenger railway project has currently created 10,000 jobs. During the inspection, Sheinbaum highlighted the engineering progress of the AIFA-Pachuca section and noted that this passenger railway line is part of the overall goal of constructing 1,500 kilometers of railways within her six-year term. Sheinbaum stated: "We have reached 30% progress, with 10,000 workers on the railway line every day; it drives economic development and improves connectivity between Mexico City and Pachuca."

The passenger railway project includes an approximately 58-kilometer section between Felipe Ángeles International Airport and Pachuca. Engineer Corps Commander Gustavo Vallejo explained from a technical perspective that this passenger railway will reduce travel time between the two locations to about 1 hour and 20 minutes, with the AIFA-Pachuca journey taking 40 minutes. President Sheinbaum emphasized that the project adheres to the original timeline: "One year and one month later, we are fulfilling our commitments."

Andrés Lajous, Director General of the Comprehensive Public Railways and Transportation Office, revealed that this passenger railway will have six stations and is expected to handle an average daily passenger volume of 107,000. He also reported that 15 electric trains currently under construction will be deployed, with a maximum speed of 130 km/h, and the first train is scheduled to arrive in September.

This passenger railway project is part of the Mexican federal government's strategy to resume passenger railway transportation. President Sheinbaum reiterated that the goal during her term is to construct 1,500 kilometers of railway lines.
