Some cargo trains run by Mexico’s Ferromex have restarted after they were halted following a spate of serious injuries and fatalities to migrants traveling on them, the rail operator’s parent company said.
Ferromex temporarily suspended operations of 60 northbound trains after about half a dozen migrants suffered death or injury, it announced on Tuesday (September 19), causing distress among migrants who planned to board the vehicle on their way to the US.
Migrants trying to reach the US have crisscrossed Mexico on cargo trains. Collectively, such trains have become known as "La Bestia". Ferromex said the presence of migrants in its railcars and rail yards had grown significantly in recent days to more than 4,000 in several cities throughout Mexico.
