摘要

Mexico's transport and communications ministry (SCT) is planning cargo and passenger rail projects with expected investment of at least $9.4 billion, according to a release from the SCT. The SCT is planning some $2.2 billion in cargo rail transport including the Aguascalientes-Guadalajara line in Encarnacion that will reduce the distance between Manzanillo and Altamira ports by 16 hours. Construction of the Manzanillo rail tunnel will also double the amount of rail cargo handling to 4 million TEUs.
