The Board of the Mexican Railway Association (AMF) elected Francisco Fabila Rubio, current general manager of the Railroad and Terminal of the Valley of Mexico (Ferrovalle) , as its new president.
After two years at the helm of the AMF, Oscar Del Cueto, president of Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) of Mexico, is leaving the presidency of the organization.
During the Assembly session of the organization, the change of president took place, for which Francisco Fabila thanked the Council for the trust placed in him to assume this responsibility.
The new president announced that during his term he will develop a cross-cutting agenda with the Government of Mexico in favor of better interaction in development and growth plans at the federal, state and municipal levels with the intention of acting as a technical consulting body.

Oscar Del Cueto, the outgoing president of the organization, acknowledged and thanked Iker de Luisa for his support and leadership throughout these two years that he was at the head of the AMF.
“They were fundamental in guiding the work and setting the roadmap. I enthusiastically pass the baton to Francisco Fabila, new blood, whose drive will be decisive in exploiting the development potential of the association in the national context where the railroad is the center of infrastructure and economic development plans in North America,” he said.
