Location

The Observatorio railway station[lower-alpha 1] will be a commuter railway station and eastern terminal of the El Insurgente commuter rail system. It will connect Mexico City with Greater Toluca, State of Mexico. The station is located along Calzada Minas de Arena, in Álvaro Obregón, Mexico City. The station connects with the Mexico City Metro system at Observatorio, its own Centro de transferencia modal, a transportation hub from which multiple buses and minubuses depart and arrive, as well as the adjacent intercity West Bus Terminal.

Location and layout

Observatorio railway station is a commuter railway station located along Calzada Minas de Arena, in Álvaro Obregón, Mexico City.[1] The station was built above ground level.[2] It will have a disabled-accessible service with elevators, escalators, tactile pavings, access ramps, braille signage plates, as well as visual signage and auditive announcements.[3]

The area is served by the Observatorio station of the Mexico City Metro, which connects to Line 1, and Line 12 in the future. The station also provides access to the adjacent Centro de transferencia modal (CETRAM), a major transportation hub linking multiple areas of Mexico City and the neighboring State of Mexico, as well as the Terminal de Autobuses de Observatorio, which provides intercity bus service.[4]

Incidents

During construction of the overpass near Presa Tacubaya, a segment-launching gantry crane collapsed; no injuries were reported. The incident drew national attention after the Government of Mexico City reported and described the collapse as having "shifted toward the ground", a phrasing that was criticized as a euphemism.[5][6][7]

Notes
