Rail transport in Central America consists of several isolated railroad lines with freight or passenger service. The most famous one is the Panama Canal Railway, the oldest transcontinental railroad in the world, connecting Panama City with Colón since 1855. Other railroads in Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama were built by private and public investors mainly to facilitate the transport of local agricultural produce (bananas, coconuts, coffee) to export markets and harbors. Their market share and profitability went into decline in the second half of the twentieth century and most lines have been decommissioned by the end of the 1990s. As of 2018, railroads operate locally in Honduras, Costa Rica and Panama only; all rail transport has been suspended

  • El transporte ferroviario en América Central consiste en varias líneas de ferrocarril aisladas con servicio de carga o de pasajeros. El Ferrocarril del Canal de Panamá fue el ferrocarril transcontinental más antiguo del mundo, que conectaba la Ciudad de Panamá con Colón desde 1855. Otros ferrocarriles en Belice, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica y Panamá fueron construidos por inversores privados y públicos, principalmente para facilitar el transporte de productos agrícolas locales (plátanos, cocos, café) a mercados de exportación y puertos. Su participación en el mercado y su rentabilidad disminuyeron en la segunda mitad del siglo XX y la mayoría de las líneas se han dado de baja desde fines de la década de 1990. (es)
