Mapastepec is a former and future railway station in Mapastepec, Chiapas.[2]
The station was established on the Ferrocarril Panamericano, which, since 1908, connected the Ferrocarril Transístmico with towns on the coast of Chiapas (including the region of Soconusco), as well as the Guatemala–Mexico border.
In 1911, the DepartmentsofTonalá and Soconusco, located in southern Chiapas, were connected by train with the rest of the country, thereby benefiting the region.[3]
