Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador announced Wednesday that private rail companies must either offer passenger services or let the government run its trains on their tracks.

Mexico’s president announced Wednesday that he will require private rail companies that mostly carry freight to offer passenger service or else have the government schedule its own trains on their tracks. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador denied any notion that his decree to be issued later this month amounted to expropriation of private property. He said existing law guarantees passenger trains priority.

Almost all passenger railway services in the world are subsidized to some extent; few make enough money to run on their own, and many lose money. López Obrador also said the railway network would have to be electrified for passenger service; most freight trains have diesel or diesel-electric locomotives. Moreover, issues of conflicting schedules, train speeds, stations and rolling stock are likely to arise if passenger and freight trains run on the same tracks.

In most parts of Mexico there are few inner-city train tracks or stations left. Mexico's old government national railway company offered poor, slow service and lost huge amounts of money before the private concessionary operators took over the lines.
