Suitable parameters

▪ 1837: President Anastasio Bustamante granted the

first concession to Francisco Arrillaga to build the first

railway line between Mexico City and Veracruz

Port. (The rail was not built).

▪ 1864: Emperor Maximilian I of Mexico and the

Imperial Mexican Railway Company began

construction of the Mexico-Veracruz railway line.

▪ 1873: President Sebastián Lerdo de Tejada

inaugurated the „Ferrocarril Mexicano“ (Mexican

Railway), which was the first railway to run in Mexico.

▪ 1876-1911: President Porfirio Díaz encouraged the

massive construction of railway lines through the

country via subsidies and concessions to national and

international companies.

1876: 398 [mi] (640.5 [km])

1910: 15 360 [mi] (24 719.5 [km])

▪ 1909: Creation of „Ferrocarriles Nacionales de

México (FNM)“ (National Railways of Mexico), a new

government corporation to control and manage the rail

lines with a majority of a share ownership.

Suitable parameters

▪ Railways played a very important role in

the Mexican Revolution (1910-1935).

▪ The railways lines transported rebel

soldiers to the battle and the railway

vehicles were used several times as

moving headquarters of the revolutionary

leaders.

▪ During this period, the railways greatly

suffered from neglect, damages and

lack of maintenance.

▪ On June 13, 1937, short after the end of

the hostilities, the Mexican Railway was

nationalized under Mexican President

Lázaro Cárdenas´ mandate.

▪ FNM operated the whole Mexican Railway

System from 1938 to 1996.

8

Suitable parameters

▪ To 1991, FNM („Ferronales“) has achieved an operative

deficit of US $ 552 millions.

▪ The tracks were in a poor state because of lack of

maintenance; the service was slow, inefficient and there

were frequent interruptions.

▪ On March 2, 1995 President Ernesto Zedillo signed the

Reform to the Article 28° of the Mexican Constitution,

which allowed the participation of private companies in the

railway sector.

▪ In 1996 the railway network was divided into concession

lines. The two biggest railway concessionaries in Mexico

(Grupo Mexico and Kansas City Southern de Mexico,

KCSM) assumed control of most of the network´s length.

▪ As part of the privatization, FNM suspended passenger rail

service in 1997.
