Plan D-04 | Distances and municipal boundaries
This map is into municipalities or countys, according to the old section of the Chamela's railway as the kilometers of route corresponding to each county, in which Acatlán de Jusrz county has a short extension between Santa Ana Station and Villa Corona county limit. The distances for each county are:

Villa Corona county: From the end of km. 1 to km 17.5 with sections of gap and junction roads, fields and Villa Corona City. This route mainly passes through cane fields
Cocula county: From kilometer 17.5 to Km 31 and until the end of the route in 'El Crucero de Santa Maria' town. This route includes dirt roads, junctions with roads, a dam with its aqueduct and cane fields.
The rout starts in the Santa Ana station and heading to the Cocula city limits.
km 0. Santa Ana station is considered the starting point.

Plan D-06 | Points of possible conflicts of mobility and continuity ofthe route.
1.- Road junction 1.
There are three junctions of the old railway route with the highway that comunicate the three municipalities. The first junction is located at km. 4 of the old path and crosses the Road with heavy vehicular traffic making it very dangerous so the proposal must ensure The safety and confort for the user.
2.- Aqueduct in 'El Verde' .
This is an area where specific Studies should be conducted due to the instability of the of a soil flodded several times and seasonally rising levels of the dam. Also the compaction of the original board where The tracks were is deteriorated.
3. Road junction 2
Is located near the road that conects the towns of Juan Gil Preciado and Estipac.
4. Road junction 3.
This junction is located in mk. 26 in Cocula county, near to the old railway station.

Plan D-07 | Types of circulation / current mobility
This map is the analisys of current traffic along the route through wich passed the old railway divided Into three sectors made up for:
a) Abandoned route: Where there is no trace of the path due to the original route is obsolete and whose surface has deteriorated and eroded over the time.
b) Automobile and bicycle shared path: this is the section where it joints the route of old railway and the federal highway is being expanded to eventually afect the greenway project.
c) Bycicle or pedestrian path: for ciclyng and walking with less risk and easily because it mostly consist of stretches of unpaved road with less trafic of cars and trucks.

Plan D-08 | Cultural heritage in the study area.
The most representative elements of cultural heritage in the study area are:
a) Cocula station: former railway stwtion located neart the town named 'Crucero de Santa María', in Cocula county.
b) Hacienda la Cofradía: Ex Hacienda located in the small town of 'La Cofradía de la Luz'. it has a main building that has exceptional value.
c) ElThe aqueduct at acueducto de la presa El Verde: Los acueductos en la actualidad cumplían una importante labor ya que se encargaban de distribuir el agua a las cosechas de los habitantes e incluso llevaban agua a las haciendas y casas de l as personas. Este acueducto en particular es muy interesante ya que por debajo de uno de sus arcos cruzaba la antigua vía de ferrocarril. Representa un elemento importante de valor patrimonial y paisajístico por el entorno natural en el que se encuentra.
d) Contexto urbano de Villa Corona. Una parte de la ruta original se encuentra dentro de la mancha urbana de dicha localidad.
c) Estación de Santa Ana: Esta estación es una de las más grandes en el estado de Jalisco[1] lo cual significa que tenía un movimiento importante de carga y pasajeros.

Plano D-09 | Tramos de recuperación de la ruta original
A lo largo del análisis puntual de la ruta antigua encontramos ciertos tramos con diferentes características los cuales se han categorizado y se les ha señalado de diferente forma para poder ubicar y analizar los diferentes problemas que presenta cada uno. Se ha dividido el trayecto completo en diferentes secciones que son la siguientes:
