Tehuantepec Isthmus Rail Link Brings Ocean Traffic
The Isthmus of Tehuantepec now hosts a standard gauge railway with eighty pound rails and a fully ballasted track linking the Pacific and Atlantic. Trains run 193 miles in about eleven hours and Pacific city trips to Salina Cruz take roughly thirty six hours, with plans to trim to thirty hours. Pearson & Son back a $7 million capital, with Mexico funding harbor works at Coatzacoalcos and Salina Cruz to enable vast freight handling and shipments to New York, San Francisco, and beyond.
