Trying to write an article about this Mexican mega project has proved difficult. In a sense some of the basic infrastructure is almost in place, hundreds ofkilometres of tracks have been laid, but in many places ballast shortages means that the rail is not completed yet. In other case core tourist stations have not even broken ground, specifically the Cancún airport station. If you have to take the bus to downtown Cancún to catch the train to Tulum…well you will stay in the bus from the airport directly to Tulum.
Rumours are that most of the important stations are nearly complete, but still you cannot see any progress are there are only artist’s renditions. Rolling stock has begun to be delivered but cannot yet be tested.
Rumours are that the President will ride a train in December on the southern part of the system which has been completed for some time.. after all he opened the Dos Bocas refinery more than a year ago and its still not operating.
Mexico is always fascinating. Also, you know that there is no information from the government when local newspaper stop talking about the train. There is no news at all
