Ferrocarriles Chiapas-Mayab (reporting mark FCCM) was a railroad in southeastern Mexico. It was a subsidiary of the Genesee and Wyoming company of railways.
The railroad was damaged by Hurricane Stan in October 2005, and on 25 June 2007 Genesee & Wyoming Inc announced it was to hand back the 30-year concession and liquidate FCCM SA by the end of 2007.[2] Operation of FCCM was taken over by Ferrocarril del Istmo de Tehuantepec.[3]
