Home » Rail »


The Corredor Bioceanico Central is the ambitious project of transformation of an old rack rail constructed in 1910 which crosses the Andes, into a modern double track railway line for transport of freights and people.
The line connects the city of Mendoza, in Argentina, to Los Andes in Chile, for a total length of 210 km. It runs through a complex mountain region with extreme gradients for freight transport. For this reason, a base tunnel running on the border for 52,5 km will be realized
