President Andrés Manuel López Obrador traveled to Campeche this Friday, where he will take his first ride aboard the work-in-progress Maya Train for a supervision trip.

The first four carriages of the Maya Train were delivered in Cancún on July 8, where they have since completed a series of static and dynamic tests. On Tuesday, the carriages left for Campeche, where AMLO delivered his fifth annual government report on Friday morning.
