Coatzacoalcos is a planned railway station located in Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz.[3]

Plans[edit]

In 2023, construction work on the new Coatzacoalcos station of the Ferrocarril Transístmico began. The work will last more than six months and will be carried out on one hectare of land that was previously concessioned to Ferrosur.[4] The new passenger terminal will be connected through railways with other states with the Tren Maya. The Secretariat of the Navy is in charge of constructing the new station, though it has subcontracted the work to a construction company.[5] However, as of November 2023, construction works have not started and the site looks abandoned.[6]

Nevertheless, on December 22, the line from Salina Cruz to Coatzacoalcos reopened.[1][2]
