Jesús Carranza station is a train station in Jesús Carranza, Veracruz.

History

The original station was built on June 29, 1894, as part of the Ferrocarril Transístmico that connected the Pacific Ocean with the Atlantic Ocean.[1]

In 2017, due to the Chiapas earthquake, the old station building suffered damage to most of the structure, leaving it almost completely destroyed.[3]

However, the rehabilitation work of the station began on August 1, 2023, and is expected to last 120 days. The new station will serve passenger trains on the rehabilitated Ferrocarril Transístmico, as part of the Interoceanic Corridor of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.[4] On December 22, 2023 that year, the linewas reopened,[5][6] although the station itself was not. The Corridor's director, Raymundo Morales Ángeles, reported that it will open in June 2024, as part of the railway's second stage.[2]
