With 58 Brado wagons on Rumo locomotives, the first train from the North-South Railway bound for Anápolis arrived in the Goiás-based municipality this week. Conducted as a commissioning test, the 1,511 km journey initiated in Cubatão, São Paulo state, took three days. This route marks the revival of a project that started 40 years ago and had its structure 100% completed in 2023. In the first train, 58 wagons carried 112 40-foot containers, with 32 loaded with industrial inputs and agricultural pesticides from China, the United States, and Europe. The remaining 80 were empty, to be sent to export customers across the Anápolis-Santos route and to form a buffer at the Anápolis Dry Port. The buffer is essential to ensure assets for future operations.
