The future is being laid on rails, and today, more than ever, Mexico is gearing up for a leap into modernity. On December 22, the inaugural journey of the Interoceanic Train of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, a new railway connecting the Gulf of México to the Pacific Ocean, was launched. In a recent presentation, news was unveiled that redefines mobility and commerce in México.

Phase 1 of the Mayan Train, stretching from Palenque, Chiapas, to Escárcega, Campeche, is forging ahead with determination, opening doors to a strategic alliance with the Isthmus of Tehuantepec!
The isthmus is a narrow strip of land that connects two larger land masses and is situated between the Gulfs of Mexico and Tehuantepec. It represents a significant alternative to the Panama Canal and has the potential to revolutionize transportation and trade in the Americas.

Two key elements mark this new stage of railway development:
Interchange Terminal in Palenque: This logistical epicenter will act as a fundamental link between the Mayan Train route and the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, projecting an unprecedented synergy between both projects.
Operations Yard in Escárcega: This infrastructure, situated in Escárcega, Campeche, will not only be a pivotal point for logistical operations but also stands as a multifunctional hub for transporting a wide range of goods.
The flow of merchandise will be smooth and efficient: ships will transport containers filled with products to the ports, where they will be unloaded. Subsequently, the Isthmus Train will take charge of transporting this merchandise to the other port, thus streamlining cargo transportation between both oceans and optimizing regional logistics.
Additionally, the Isthmus of Tehuantepec boasts 10 strategically located Industrial Hubs, each offering a unique experience geared towards industrial activity, from excellence in production to process efficiency, thus driving local and regional economic development.
