The first step is to contact an account executive, because you can only be assigned a unit if a tariff has been authorized.

Most of our customers can request cars online. If your company has not yet migrated to this system, you will need to fill out a form and send it to  solicitud_carro@ferromex.mx, noting that for domestic service, cars need to be requested 5 days in advance, and units for exportation need to be requested 15 days in advance.

Yes, provided this is done at least 5 days in advance of the date the cars are required and 15 days in advance for units for exportation.

If your company submits orders online, the same page will show you the units assigned. If you send a form by email, you will need to call your customer service segment. For more information, please call 800 33 77 663 option 1 + segment.

Empty units that are placed at industry for loading can be rejected provided you send a rejection form to solicitud_carro@ferromex.mx within 12 hours of the unit being placed. You will need to include a photo that clearly shows the reason for the rejection.

A documentation pattern is a waybill that is preloaded into the Ferromex system (origin, destination, sender, consignee, Tariff, Customs Agents, etc.) so that when you go online, you only need to add certain information such as the car number, the seals, and the ZVP.

It is recommended that the registry be requested 24-48 hours before you are going to document as this information needs to be validated. It is very important to remember that without a pattern, you will not be able to document.

This is a quick way of identifying whether the tariffs on your documentation patterns have expired (marked in red) or are about to expire (marked in yellow). You will need to contact your account executive to process the updating of these tariffs. Any mark in red means you will not be able to document. It is therefore recommended that you contact your account executive when the marks are yellow in order to prevent any delay in documentation.

The owner of the private track is responsible for its maintenance. Ferromex conducts annual or semiannual inspections to check the physical condition of the tracks to ensure they provide the operating safety necessary.
Each industry should have a contractor specialized in track maintenance and have a maintenance program to keep their tracks in good condition.

If the units are documented on Ferromex lines, you have 24 hours to present the documentation at the border. If the units are documented with another railroad, you have 24 hours from when the units are received at the interchange.

The customer/Customs Agent will be responsible for the demurrage generated from the customs documentation being presented late, and also the units may be detained prior to their arrival at the border, depending on the route, to avoid units arriving at the interchange and causing traffic problems.

The units will be released from detention when the customer or the Customs Agent has settled the charges corresponding.

Yes, provided you request this through the other services form, as the rental of a locomotive is required, which is charged to the customer.
