摘要

Speaking at a recent conference in Cancun, federal Under-Secretary of Transport Carlos Almada outlined the 13 railway projects that are being taken forward by the administration of President Enrique Pena Nieto, representing total investment of 125bn pesos. As well as the projects for new passenger lines from Mexico City to Queretaro and Toluca, and a new railway from Merida to Puerto Venado (RG 1.13 p7) which are expected to cost a total of 95bn pesos, the government is planning to spend 30bn pesos to increase capacity for freight traffic on the existing network.
