Reports: Mexico, CPKC reach agreement on Monterrey passenger line

 

Mexican federal and Nuevo Leon state officials have reached an agreement with Canadian Pacific Kansas City de Mexico to develop a passenger-rail line in the Monterrey area, Mexican news media reported.

 

The agreement between the Mexican Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications and Transport (SICT), the state of Nuevo Leon and CPKC de Mexico was outlined last week in the federal government's official gazette, according to Mexico News Daily.

 

The plan calls for construction of a 75-kilometer (about 47 miles) passenger-rail line between the city of Garcia, which is located west of Monterrey, and Pesqueria, which is east of Monterrey. The line is slated to have 26 stations and run through Garcia, Santa Catarina (where Tesla's factory will be located), San Pedro Garza Garcia, San Nicolas de los Garza, Apodaca and Pesqueria, where Kia has a plant.
