Source-derived summary

Talleres Station (Spanish: Terminal Talleres) is a terminal station on Line 1 of the Monterrey Metro. It is located on Ave. Solidaridad and Esquisto St. in the San Bernabé VI neighborhood in Monterrey, Mexico.

This station is named after the Metrorrey maintenance shops (talleres) that are located right after the station, and its logo represents a train during maintenance.

Although this part of Line 1 was operational from the start, the original terminal of Line 1 was San Bernabé station. At that time the line from San Bernabé to Talleres was only used to get trains to the shops. It was not until June 11, 2002, that this portion of the line was opened for passenger service and Talleres became a station.

Unlike the rest of the stations in Line 1 of the Monterrey Metro, Talleres is accessed at ground level.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as metro station in Monterrey, Mexico. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5577009. Authority coordinates are 25.754, -100.365. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2002.

Critical limits

Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
