Metropolitan Train Project - Cordoba - Jesus Maria - Dean Funes - Extension Quilino

I have received news of project of a passenger train between Cordoba Metropolitan, Jesus Maria, Dean Funes, with expansion to Quilino.

Then I leave the note summarizes the project:


AFESEPA - Is promoting the design and implementation of a passenger train that links the city of Cordoba Quilino, passing through the city.

Meeting in Rail Professional Organization (AFESEPA) seek to provide experience of decades to implement a strategic public transport plan that goes beyond the specific project for our area.
A week ago, was shown at the Museum of Industry of Cordoba, in the First Day "Projects to Córdoba, where the architect Eugenio Beccari stated" The Metropolitan Railway Project - Cordoba - Jesus Maria - Dean Funes - Expansion Quilino " which is part of a Strategic Transport Plan for Metropolitan Area Córdoba and in the proposed new rail corridor that will be in the provincial capital as a center.

infectious enthusiasm

Simultaneously, AFESEPA has started its activity inside making contact with the mayors of the northern region of Cordoba and in order to publicize the benefits that the return of the train as transport of passengers organized conferences - in Dean Funes and Jesus Maria in which will present their project.
Romualdo Perez explained this newspaper that are in the process of mobilizing the will and decision of local authorities. "So far we have gotten favorable responses from the mayors of Jesus Maria, Dean Funes and Quilino. The next step will be to support the provincial government, legislators, and then the nation ", he added.
In this regard, through the Instituto Argentino de Ferrocarriles (IAF), Federal Capital, AFESEPA "announced plans to participate in the Federal Transportation Council of the Nation, the entity that determines the allocation of the budget."
regard to the maintenance of service, Perez forward: "We promote the railway is state owned, with transportation policies overcome at railroad met. We have already seen the disastrous examples of what made the private companies for Ferrocentral, with the Train of the Sierras or train from Cordoba to retreat. "

CAN MAKE?

Asked if the roads are able to be used for this service, Perez said that one of the professionals involved in AFESEPA is the last Chief of District Roads and Works of Belgrano Cordoba. "For him know-in detail-that the general state of Cordoba Quilino Branch is good, but that's not would be the path we are proposing, "he said.
Is that your project involves a railroad other than the one we know so far: "The proposal is to plot two-way and bury, ie across the trenches will trace the train has not slowing down barriers of caution . Thus we reach the optimal speed of trade, to entice users and get the desired decentralization. This incentive to get that population growth is directed to Córdoba Metropolitan Area. "
So different is what they intend to pursue, which would use electric trains (triples) lightweight type with a capacity of up to 362 passengers. These trains are made in Cordoba in Materfer plant (photo).
The next step is to promote the creation of a joint commission between municipalities and organizations committed to agree on a sustainable planning.
rail For these professionals, the return of the train is feasible and based on its success in similar efforts elsewhere in the country:
  • In Entre Rios, Parana join Basavilbaso train;
  • in Mendoza, the implementation of urban Metrotranvía is scheduled for late 2010 or early 2011, with a total investment of 80 million pesos;
  • in Tucumán, the municipalities of San Miguel de Tucuman and Tafi Viejo will be responsible for managing and operating the commuter train,
  • in La Pampa, plan to revive the branch Toay-Santa Rosa, in the north of the country, a railway linking the towns of Yala, San Salvador de Jujuy, Palpalá, El Carmen, San Antonio and Perico;
  • Chaco and is running a service that improves profitability daily.
