The Saltillo-Nuevo Laredo Passenger Train is part of the government’s plan to expand the country’s rail network, with the aim of improving connectivity in northern Mexico and facilitating mobility between two strategic industrial hubs. According to the ministry, the project aims to reactivate rail infrastructure in the region, offering new transport routes that will benefit the population and the logistics sector. Officials estimate the line will carry 7 million passengers annually, linking Saltillo with Monterrey and Nuevo Laredo to strengthen economic and tourism ties across Coahuila, Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas.
