Line 4
[5] It will run along the Guadalajara-Manzanillo right of way. Given its characteristics, particularly its layout, length and distance between stations, the system could be considered a suburban train, although this is debatable. The workshops of this line will be located in the head of Tlajomulco. In Santa Fe, service tracks will be located to deposit damaged trains without the need to return them to the workshop.[7].
