Talismán is a station along Line 4 of the Mexico City Metro, located in Gustavo A. Madero borough.[1][2]
The station logo depicts a stylised image of a mammoth, with raised trunk and tusks.[1][2] During the construction of this station, the fossilised remains of a mammoth (Mammuthus meridionalis) were dug up by an excavation crew.[1] The fossil is now exhibited in a display in the station.[1] The station was opened on 29 August 1981.[3]
Talismán also means "amulet", and an elephant with a raised trunk is considered a good luck symbol.
This metro station, like others on Line 4, stands on Avenida Congreso de la Unión.[1]
The western exit is on the same block as Procter & Gamble Mexico's Talismán Plant, where soap products including Camay and Safeguard are produced. Trucks delivering tallow and olive oil (raw materials for soap) are a common sight around the station.
Talisman is served by several Pesero routes to Potrero, Tepito and Merced. It is also served by RTP Bus services on Avenida Congreso.
