Se analizó el desempeño operativo de las terracerías del Frente 4 del tren AIFA–Pachuca durante la temporada de lluvias de 2025. El objetivo fue identificar los factores que afectaron la continuidad productiva y proponer ajustes técnicos y logísticos para mejorar la ejecución de plataformas y terraplenes ferroviarios. Se empleó un enfoque aplicado, no experimental y descriptivo, sustentado en la observación directa, bitácoras de campo, registros operativos, el control de acarreos y la revisión de procedimientos de compactación y calidad. Se examinaron el suministro de material, la respuesta de la maquinaria pesada, la transitabilidad de los caminos de acarreo y la recuperación operativa tras eventos de lluvia. Los resultados mostraron que la saturación de caminos, la interrupción del acarreo y los tiempos muertos por reabastecimiento redujeron el rendimiento real respecto del programado; no obstante, el saneamiento oportuno de los accesos, la redistribución del equipo y la descentralización del suministro de diésel permitieron restablecer la producción diaria. Se concluyó que la eficiencia de las terracerías ferroviarias en entornos climáticamente adversos depende de la coordinación logística, del control de la compactación y de protocolos adaptativos basados en el monitoreo topográfico y meteorológico.
