Fortuna is a station serving the Ferrocarril Suburbano, a suburban rail that connects the State of Mexico with Mexico City. The station is located in the municipality of Azcapotzalco in the northern part of Mexico City.[1]

General information

Fortuna station is located in the Azcapotzalco municipality in Mexico City. It is the second station of the system going northbound from Buenavista and the last one to be located within Mexico City Proper.[1]

The station is located a few meters away from Metro Ferrería/Arena Ciudad de México, servicing Mexico City Metro Line 6. Therefore, it is possible for users to connect here with the Metro network. Arena Ciudad de México, an indoor sports and entertainment venue, is also within walking distance from Fortuna station. [2]

As with Mexico City Metro, each station of the Ferrocarril Suburbano has a pictogram. Fortuna's pictogram depicts four crosses. According to its designer, Alejandro Sarabia, they represent the several hospitals that are located in the area.[3]

History

Fortuna station opened on 2 June 2008 as part of the first stretch of system 1 of the Ferrocarril Suburbano, going from Buenavista in Mexico City to the Lechería station in the State of Mexico.[4]

Fortuna, alongside Buenavista, are the only two Ferrocarril Suburbano stations that connect with Mexico City Metro. During construction of the station, plans were made to build an underground tunnel to the station to Metro Ferrería/Arena Ciudad de México, but the tunnel was never built.[5]
