Misterios is an underground metro station along Avenida Río Consulado, in northeastern Mexico City.[2][3] It serves the colonias (neighborhoods) of Vallejo, in Gustavo A. Madero, and Peralvillo, in Cuauhtémoc. Misterios metro station has two exits that lead to Avenida Río Consulado and Calle Constantino. The northern exit goes to Colonia Vallejo and the southern one is at Colonia Peralvillo.[2]

Within the system, the station lies between La Raza and Valle Gómez.[2] The area is serviced by Route 20-A of the city's public bus system[4] by Route 200 of the Red de Transporte de Pasajeros network,[5] Line 7 of the Metrobús system at Misterios bus station, a few blocks away,[6] and by Line 4 (formerly Line G) of the trolleybus system.[7]

History and construction

Misterios' pictogram is based on one of the Mysteries of the Rosary located on Calzada de los Misterios (Joyful Mystery: The Annunciation pictured)

Line 5 of the Mexico City Metro was built by Cometro, a subsidiary of Empresas ICA. It opened on 19 December 1981.[8][9] The next section, where Misterios station is located, opened on 1 July 1982, the first day of service for the western expansion from Consulado to La Raza metro station.[10]

The tunnel between Valle Gómez and Misterios stations is 969 meters (3,179 ft) long.[11][12] During construction, workers uncovered part of a road that connected Tenochtitlan with the Tepeyac hill. The road was built with materials dating back to the Mesoamerican Postclassic Period.[13] The opposite side towards La Raza station emerges to the grade level and is 892 meters (2,927 ft).[11]

The station is named after the nearby Calzada de los Misterios [es], an avenue in Mexico City that connects the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe with Paseo de la Reforma. Calzada de los Misterios has fifteen hermitages, built in the 17th century, which reference and illustrate the Mysteries of the Rosary. The station's pictogram represents one of these hermitages.[2][14][15]

Originally, Line 8 (which runs from downtown Mexico City to Constitución de 1917 station in Iztapalapa) was planned to extend from Pantitlán in eastern Mexico City to Indios Verdes station, with a stop at Misterios.[16] However, the project was canceled due to potential structural issues it would have caused near the Zócalo area, as it was intended to interchange with Line 2 at Zócalo station. The plan for Line 8 was later modified to run from Indios Verdes to Constitución de 1917 station, still stopping at Misterios. But its construction did not progress beyond Garibaldi / Lagunilla metro station, which has served as its provisional terminal since 1994.[17][18]

Incidents

[edit]

A train's railway coupler broke on 21 April 2020 near the station.[19][20] From 23 April to 15 June 2020, the station was temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico.[21][22] In the Misterios–Valle Gómez tunnel, a train window was ejected and caused a short circuit on 21 February 2021.[23] A train window was ejected in the tunnel between Valle Gómez, causing a short circuit on station 21 February 2021.[24]
