How close is the ferrovia Norte-Sul to being linked at Estrela d'Oueste, SP, Cristiano? Great to see Brazil opening up with a true cross-country railway.

Kurt, the part from Anápolis to Estrela D'Oeste is under construction and final technical studies.

Thank you, Cristiano! Exciting news for Brazil, indeed. Will there be passenger service on the route as well linking north and south?

Maybe in the future Kurt!
