The Governor of São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas, announced last Tuesday (28) an investment of R$ 160 million in the modernization and reform of the imposing Campos do Jordão Railway (EFCJ).

The investment in the reform of the Campos do Jordão Railway is for tracks, rolling stock, and other equipment; the line has a length of 47 kilometers, six train stations – Pindamonhangaba, Expedicionária, Piracuama, Eugênio Lefévre, Abernéssia, and Emílio Ribas – and several stops and platforms along its route.

The EFCJ offers 8 rail services: from the majestic Suburban Train to the charming Piracuama Tourist Train; from the traditional Tourist Tram to the sparkling Urban Tourist Tram; from the iconic Maria Fumaça to the enigmatic Themed Tourist Trains and finally, to the notorious Mountain Train. With these services, the EFCJ connects the cities of Pindamonhangaba, Santo Antônio do Pinhal, and Campos do Jordão grandly.
