Description: Cutting across the narrowest stretch of Mexico, the Interoceanic Corridor of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec (CIIT) is reshaping the country's trade map and reviving a rail dream more than a century in the making. This book traces the ambitious project from its strategic origins to the engineering challenges of laying track across rugged terrain, and from the bustling ports of Salina Cruz and Coatzacoalcos to the towns and ecosystems caught between two oceans. Along the way, it weighs CIIT's promise as a freight alternative to the Panama Canal against the environmental and political stakes that will shape its future. A clear-eyed guide for travelers, transport enthusiasts, and anyone curious about the next chapter in global logistics.
