The Belgrano Cargas train arrives at Gran Rosário ports for first time

The recovery process for the Belgrano Cargas train in Argentina took another positive step on August 22: a formation of 10 wagons loaded with corn entered the agro-export terminals located in Timbúes, in the Santa Fé region. It was the first time that the train entered the Gran Rosario ports. Circulation and discharge tests were carried out.  According to the Argentine Ministry of Transport, this development “will reduce logistics costs and triple the cargo transported to the ports of Gran Rosario”.

The formation, with 10 wagons, travelled along the new section by means of a new railway bridge that crosses the Carcarañá river and a railway area for the maneuvering and maintenance of trains of up to 100 wagons. The construction of private diversions with dynamic unloading for each port terminal was also contemplated to streamline logistical times. Soon there will be definitive authorization to operate with the different cargo formations.

The work will allow for transportation of a greater volume, with savings of up to 30% in logistics costs, according to the company Trenes Argentinos Cargas, responsible for the operation of the Belgrano line.
