History and construction

Line 5 of the Mexico City Metro was built by Cometro, a subsidiary of Empresas ICA,[6] and its first section was opened on 19 December 1981, operating from Pantitlán to Consulado stations.[7] Eduardo Molina is an at-grade station;[8] the Eduardo Molina–Aragón interstation is 860m (2,820feet) long, while the Eduardo Molina–Consulado section measures 815m (2,674feet).[9] The station is named after,[3] a Mexican engineer who helped to solve the problem of water scarcity in the Valley of Mexico in the mid-20th century through the Lerma River system,[10] [11] and the station's pictogram features two hands holding water, a reference to a fragment of the mural El agua, origen de la vida,[3] painted by Diego Rivera inside the main building of the Cárcamo de Dolores, a hydraulic sump structure in Chapultepec, Mexico City.[12] [13]

Incidents

After the 2015 Oceanía station train crash, Eduardo Molina metro station was temporarily closed for repairs.[14] On 31 July 2018, three railroad cars uncoupled while a train was traveling at the Consulado–Eduardo Molina interstation, with no injuries reported. When the incident was reviewed, authorities found that the nuts that kept the cars together were damaged.[15] From 23 April to 15 June 2020, the station was temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico.[16] [17]
