Railroads in Honduras have been built in the northern lowlands (Valle de Sula) since 1880s by two competing banana growers. They never extended to the capital Tegucigalpa or to the Pacific coast and never linked to other countries. In 2006, three separate segments operated under the management of FNH - Ferrocarril Nacional de Honduras: San Pedro Sula - Puerto Cortes (50 km, freight trains carrying mainly lumber) and occasional passenger trains around San Pedro Sula, for example during carneval and other holidays. City rail in La Ceiba (3 km, passenger transport between downtown and a western suburb, Col. Sitramacsa) Line between La Unión and Parque Nacional Cuero y Salado (9 km, transport of coconuts to a processing plant and of tourists to national park).
