Rail transport in Honduras information


Railroads in Honduras were built in late 19th and early 20th centuries by two competing U.S. corporations, United Fruit (Tela Railroad Company) and Standard Fruit (later nationalized). All were in the Caribbean coastal area and never reached the capital. In 1993, the combined network had 785 km (488 mi). As of 2006, only three separate segments remain in operation under the management of FNH - Ferrocarril Nacional de Honduras:

  • San Pedro Sula - Puerto Cortes (50 km or 31 mi, freight trains carrying mainly lumber)
  • City rail in La Ceiba (3 km or 1.9 mi, passenger transport between downtown and a western suburb, Col. Sitramacsa)
  • Line between La Unión (a village near La Ceiba)[1] and Parque Nacional Cuero y Salado (Refugio de vida silvestre Cuero y Salado) (9 km or 5.6 mi, transport of coconuts to a processing plant and of tourists to national park
  • In late 2010, a commuter/tourist train was established in San Pedro Sula.[2]
