Common card · No. 387482

The Ferrocarril del Istmo de Tehuantepec (Spanish: “Isthmus of Tehuantepec Railway”), also referred to as the Tren Interoceánico (Spanish: “Interoceanic Train”), is a railway system located in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec of Mexico. The system, which is operated by the Interoceanic Corridor of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec (CIIT) under the Secretariat of the Navy, and owned by the Mexican Government, carries both freight and passenger service between the coasts of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans through the Isthmus. The project consists of the renovation of existing railroads, which is expected to increase the speed of the freight train from 20 km/h (12 mph) to 70 km/h (43 mph), more than three times the current one. Meanwhile, the passenger train will be able to reach speeds of up to 100 km/h (62 mph).
