Ferromex, a contraction of "ferrocarril Mexico" or "Mexican railroad," is a private rail consortium that runs most of the trains in Mexico.
Ferromex began operating February 19, 1998, following privitization of most government-owned railroads. It has more than 8,500 kilometers of track connecting five major internal Mexican cities, five cities along the border with the United States, and four seaports on the Pacific Ocean and one more on the Gulf of Mexico.
