Chile Is About to Launch the Fastest Train in South America, Reaching Speeds of Up to 160 km/h. This Project, Led by the State Company Trenes de Chile, Represents a Significant Advancement in the Region’s Railway Infrastructure and Surpasses the Fastest Train in Brazil in Speed.

Trenes de Chile announced that the new railway service, the fastest train in South America, will start operations next Friday, January 19, connecting the capital Santiago to the Curicó region in less than two hours. This achievement marks an important step in urban mobility and public transportation in South America, offering an efficient and fast alternative for intercity travel.

The new trains will have four cars with a capacity for 238 passengers and will feature a high-standard class. The amenities include a modern café, onboard service, reclining seats, individual and central tables, and LED lighting systems. The bimodal technology of the trains allows operation on both electric power and diesel.

Routes and Stops

Initially, the train will operate between the Central Station in Santiago to Curicó, with two types of services: an express with two stops and a regular with four stops. The intermediate stops will include the Rancagua region and other important communes.

Impact and Experience

The introduction of the fastest train in South America in Chile is a milestone for the region, promoting a more sustainable and efficient transportation alternative. For visitors and Chilean citizens, the experience of traveling on this train promises to be a highlight, combining comfort and speed.

The inauguration of the fastest train in South America by Chile is an example of how strategic investments in public transportation can transform urban mobility. With speeds surpassing those of the train between cities of São Paulo and Campinas in Brazil, this project places Chile at the forefront of railway innovation in the region.

Impact and Experience

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

On the coast of China, fishermen received an official reward after finding 10 foreign underwater devices capable of “stealing secrets” in just two years, showing that the silent war for the seabed has already reached the nets of those who rely on fishing.

While the USA goes to the Moon in search of energy, China silently explores an abundant stone on Earth capable of generating energy for the next 60,000 years.

After a historic change in Canada’s citizenship rules, applications surged by nearly 50%, with Americans leading a surprising rush for the new right in 2026.

More than 40 million Brazilians are sinking into credit card debt, and indebtedness now affects 80.4% of Brazilian families.

Just 6 light-years from Earth, the closest solitary star to the Solar System has revealed, after 20 years of observations, a super-Earth that completes an orbit every 233 days and faces temperatures of -170°C beyond the habitable zone.

While fans await a technological leap, Apple delays the iPhone 18 to 2027 and surprises by equating performance between the basic model and the budget version with the same chip.

Labor shortage becomes a new shock in Brazil’s jobs market and salaries soar in the services sector.

Brazil had everything to be a railway powerhouse, but it only grows by 7.2 km in 2025, adds up to 1,144 km in 10 years, transports 2.59 billion and remains below the 3.2 billion pre-pandemic, revealing a concerning stagnation.

Automatic traffic fines reach R$ 1,467 in 2026 and expand monitoring with radars and cameras throughout Brazil.

86% of the journey is inside the mountain — Japan is building a train that levitates at 500 km/h and disappears underground to connect Tokyo to Osaka in 67 minutes.

The United States is spending $6 billion to replace a 150-year-old railway tunnel that is still in operation — the project spans 16 km in Baltimore and includes building the new tunnel next to the old one without stopping a single train.

92.62% completed, 519 km of tracks already installed, 41 tunnels excavated, and ongoing tests put the Chinese railway project of $10.63 billion in Malaysia just a few months away from starting operations and transforming the logistical axis between the two coasts of the country.
