History

Beginning

Andrés Manuel López Obrador announced the Tren Maya project in his 2018 presidential campaign . On 13 August 2018, he announced the complete outline. The route of the new Tren Maya put San Francisco de Campeche on the route that would connect with Escárcega, Campeche and Mérida, Yucatán.[3]

Construction

At first, the station was expected to be built on land owned by the Ferrocarril Transístmico. The station would be close to an older station and would be part of an urban regeneration project for the city.[4][5] Some time later, the location of the station was changed to be built on the Periférico in Campeche.[6]
