Cut 15% load forecast of the Maya Train; lower goal to 4 million tons

The Tren Maya project has revised its cargo transportation projections downward by 15%, reducing its target from 4.7 million tons annually by 2030 to 4 million tons. This adjustment comes despite the project's goal of achieving profitability through freight services. The new target is still higher than the previous Tren Chiapas-Mayab, which transported 2.5 million tons before being damaged by Hurricane Stan in 2005. The updated Plan Anual de Trabajo 2026 outlines infrastructure improvements, including the rehabilitation of the FA Line connecting Coatzacoalcos to Palenque and the construction of the Poxilá-Progreso rail bypass to link with the Tehuantepec Isthmus Inter-oceanic Corridor. The project plans to use modern rolling stock such as ERTMS-equipped locomotives, tank cars, flatcars, and intermodal platforms to support efficient operations.
