Mexico City. In 2023, 13,916 events of theft and vandalism were reported on Mexican railways, which represented 38 daily cases on average, reported Juan Carlos Miranda, coordinator of the Railway Subcommittee of the Operation and Safety Committee of the College of Civil Engineers of Mexico. .
When participating in the Dialogue with Engineers from the Mexican railway sector event, Miranda explained that the data comes from the Railway Transportation Regulatory Agency, which in turn reports the number of blockages in the sector.
“In 2020, with the pandemic, there was the highest number, 6,908 hours of blockades in one year, which means 288 continuous days of blockade in different parts, the most critical was in Michoacán,” he commented.
“This issue of ensuring that there is continuity in the operation is very important and the issue of undocumented immigrants continues to be a security problem for them and for the railway operation. “It continues to be a critical issue that has to be addressed,” he mentioned.
“The challenge of the borders is to ensure that the systems and processes that are installed at the borders continue to improve to ensure that international trade can continue to grow as it has,” he added.
Regarding incidents, Miranda detailed that last year there were 1,108 incidents in the Mexican railway system, where 350 people were injured or lost their lives.
