To ensure the safety of migrants in Mexico, the movement of freight trains has been stopped, as reported by the railway portal Railway Supply.

Ferromex, the company, has suspended the operation of 60 trains heading towards Northern Mexico due to an increase in the number of migrants attempting to ride freight trains and numerous accidents that have resulted in tragic incidents.

Recently, a series of tragic incidents occurred in which migrants sustained injuries (sometimes life-threatening) when boarding freight trains heading north.

At the same time, it is noted that the number of migrants near railroad tracks has significantly increased.

For example, in the city of Torreón in the state of Coahuila, there were over 1500 people in train cars and on the railroad infrastructure.

In Irapuato, in the state of Guanajuato, in a similar situation, there were over 800 migrants. Additionally, on the route between Chihuahua and Ciudad Juárez, more than 1,000 people are in freight train cars.

The capacity of the canceled trains is equivalent to that of 1800 trucks.

It is anticipated that this temporary disruption in transportation may impact railroad freight transport, supply chains, and international trade.
