History and construction

Line 5 of the Mexico City Metro was built by Cometro, a subsidiary of Empresas ICA,[7] and its first section was opened on 19 December 1981, operating from Pantitlán to Consulado stations.[8] The Aragón–Oceanía interstation track has a slope caused by subsidence;[9] the section is 1,219 meters (3,999 ft) long.[10] The Aragón–Eduardo Molina section measures 860 meters (2,820 ft).[10] Aragón metro station is located at grade;[11] the station's pictogram represents a squirrel,[2] and the station is named after San Juan de Aragón Park, a public park and zoo in Gustavo A. Madero, located approximately one kilometer away,[12] because it was the closest station when it was built, a function replaced by the Bosque de Aragón metro station.[13]

Incidents

After the 2015 Oceanía station train crash, Aragón station was temporarily closed for repairs.[14] From 23 April to 15 June 2020, the station was temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico.[15][16]
