Regional logistics hub
As you know, El Salvador''s geographical location is unique, as you know, and we intend to leverage this capacity to connect internally and within Central America.
This ambitious project not only aims to enhance domestic transportation but also seeks to create an interconnected railway corridor linking multiple countries. El Salvador is committed to the development of railway systems facilitating the movement of both people and goods within the country.
As of 2022, no trains are operated in El Salvador. The national railroad corporation is FENADESAL (Ferrocarriles Nacionales de El Salvador), a division of the Autonomous Port Executive Commission (CEPA).
In addition to the Pacific Train, the government is exploring the implementation of a monorail in the Metropolitan Area of San Salvador, contributing to passenger transit improvement. In Central America, Honduras, El Salvador, and Nicaragua currently lack cargo or passenger trains, but all three nations are contemplating corridor projects.
El Salvador's share in this ambitious endeavor involves a projected investment of $10.7 billion until 2035, spanning across 86 projects. Infrastructure interventions aim to significantly reduce the cost of transporting a ton of cargo, from $0.17 per kilometer to $0.05, accompanied by an increase in travel speed from 16 km/h to 60 km/h.
