Mexico City Metro Line — Iconic Orange Train on the Viaducto
A bright orange Mexico City Metro train runs alongside the Viaducto highway, partially framed by trees and fencing that separate it from the busy traffic corridor. The train’s distinctive color has become a visual emblem of the city’s vast and aging transit network, originally launched in 1969. These rubber-tired trains serve millions of riders daily, threading through tunnels and elevated sections across the capital. Here, the contrast between greenery, concrete, and the orange carriages underscores the Metro’s integration into the urban landscape—an ever-moving artery of one of the world’s largest cities.
