Residents of the Greater Metropolitan Area will soon notice a new addition to Costa Rica’s public-transportation sector.
The Costa Rican Railway Institute (INCOFER) is ready to introduce the eight self-propelled diesel train carriages that it received in recent months.
“After a three-month process of training for driving personnel and testing the 8 new train units acquired from the company CRRC Quingdao Sifang Co, the equipment is ready for the start of gradual operation with passengers,” INCOFER said in a statement.
Each of the trains has a length of 38 m and a capacity for 372 passengers, double the capacity of the current railroad cars. On-board amenities include air conditioning, preferential seating for people with mobility issues, and wheelchair spaces.
Teletica reports the jumper is Chase Reinford, who hails from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
“I found this abandoned train trestle and couldn’t help but jump it,” he wrote on Instagram. “There is a small village right next to the bridge and the local people were helpful in guiding me out from the canyon via hand drawn map. I still got lost and just ended up bushwhacking my way out.”
The video has amassed 23,000 views over just two days, and it drew the attention of the Costa Rica Railway Institute (INCOFER).
“At Incofer, we are in absolute disagreement with the events carried out from a railway bridge. This is to safeguard human lives,” said Elizabeth Briceño, the organization’s president.
Residents of the Greater Metropolitan Area may have noticed a new addition to Costa Rica’s public-transportation sector this week.
The Costa Rican Railway Institute (INCOFER) is testing the eight self-propelled train carriages that it received in recent weeks. If all goes as planned, the diesel-powered trains will begin service in April.
“Monday’s tests were completed successfully,” said President Carlos Alvarado.

“With the arrival of these eight new trains, the process of railway modernization begins,” said Elizabeth Briceño, President of the Costa Rican Railway Institute (INCOFER). “The current passenger operation will improve in quality, as well as the user experience, increasing the capacity of our services.”
