A study carried out in August by the administration of Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, which had a cost of 1.5 million dollars, reveals that there is no land for the construction of this railway.
The same study determined that the Mexico-Querétaro Train would be ready by the end of 2029 and that its cost would be 102 billion pesos and would be subsidized.
However, the federal government of Claudia Sheinbaum and the so-called 4T, says that the railroad will be built by the Mexican army, that it will be ready by 2028, and that it will cost 75 billion pesos.
The Mexico-Querétaro train project foresees various technical and operational complexities, so it will be almost impossible for it to be ready in 2028.
The passenger train between Mexico and Querétaro planned by the federal government foresees various technical and operational complexities, according to the analysis of the Secretariat of Infrastructure, Communications, and Transportation, analyzed by Grupo Fórmula.
According to Marco Silva, a collaborator of Ciro Gómez Leyva on Radio Fórmula, the first major complexity is that the 240-kilometer stretch between the Buenavista station and Querétaro is a single track.
However, at least 7 freight trains carrying grain, household appliances, and other goods, 3 kilometers long, pass through it, so it would be interesting to see who would step aside to let one or the other train pass.
At the Buenavista Train station, the problem lies in the traffic due to the urban and industrial areas where there are operations of at least 5 railway concessionaires, so the land reserve is no longer enough for another passenger train.
