Pichucalco is a former railway station in Pichucalco, Chiapas, Mexico.

History

The Pichucalco station was built on the Coatzacoalcos–Mérida line. Planning on the original station began in July 1934 by the Ferrocarriles Nacionales de México. Construction work began at the end of 1935 using the line located from Sarabia, on the Ferrocarril de Tehuantepec. When the general study of the route was completed, the Sarabia junction was abandoned, and the port of Coatzacoalcos became the eastern terminal of the Southeastern Railway. By 29 December 1934, the company Líneas Férreas de México was created by presidential decree, which continued the work started by the Empresa de los Nacionales.[1]
