Unión Hidalgo is a former and future train station in Unión Hidalgo, Oaxaca.
History
The station was built on the Ferrocarril Panamericano, a line that, since 1908, connected the towns on the coast of Chiapas and Soconusco. The line also connects the Ferrocarril Transístmico with Guatemala. On 1 November 1904, the 192-kilometer stretch from San Jerónimo to Polka, passing through Unión Hidalgo, was inaugurated.[2]
In 2020, the original station was demolished because of the danger of it collapsing, due to the earthquakes that hit the community recently. However, in 2023, as part of the rehabilitation of the Ixtepec-Ciudad Hidalgo Line, the rebuilding of the station began.[3][4]
