Lázaro Cárdenas, Q.R. — Six new Maya Train cars arrived Friday at the Nuevo Xcán station in the north. The transport security operation was coordinated by the National Guard, who escorted the cars cross country to the Quintana Roo station.
The new cars are part of a strategy to strengthen the railway infrastructure following the partial derailment that occurred on August 19 at the Izamal station in Yucatan.
Federal authorities confirmed that supervision protocols for transport, assembly and track monitoring have been strengthened to ensure the safety and reliability of the Maya Train’s operation.
On August 19, a passenger car partially left its track approaching the Izamal station after leaving Cancun. Óscar David Lozano Águila, Tren Maya General Director, said a “track mishap” was the cause of the partial derailment.
The integration of the new cars into Nuevo Xcán is expected to begin in the coming days.
