The decision also includes the amounts to be charged for full and empty containers, 20 and 40 feet; as well as the tariff that will be charged for right of way. Check the complete rate table here.

Backbone

The North-South Railway was conceived with the purpose of being the backbone of the Brazilian railway system, through which the main railway networks would be interconnected, facilitating the flow of national production and allowing the connection between several producing regions and the major ports of the country.

When completed, it will cover more than 4,000 kilometers and will cross the country lengthwise, going from Rio Grande do Sul to Pará, passing through the Southeast and Midwest regions and connecting to the Northeast, in particular Maranhão.
