After fatal derailment, passenger service on the Interoceanic Train won’t resume until next year

President Sheinbaum announced passenger service on the Interoceanic Train will not resume until early 2027 due to safety overhauls in Oaxaca following a December derailment that killed 14 and injured nearly 100. The government is reworking a dangerous track section called 'Rabbit Ears' and securing land rights for a safer route, with specialists reviewing recommendations for the project.
