The northern extension will stretch from the current terminus at San Isidro station to the future terminus in Villa Zaíta.

CIM CEO Thomas Fournier said: “With this success, CIM has once again demonstrated its international railway know-how. We are delighted to contribute to the construction and maintenance of the Panama Metro.

“This success reinforces our links with our partners, strengthens our presence in the region and consolidates our exceptional relationship with Metro de Panamá.”

Meanwhile, TCP Rail also secured a three-year contract to provide maintenance services for line 2 (catenaries, track and workshop equipment).

Currently, TSO and CIM are working on the Line 2 extension, including two passenger stations.

Line 2 began commercial services in 2019.
