Ferronorte Connects the Midwest to the Southeast of Brazil Over More Than 700 Km of Tracks, Transforming Logistics and National Competitiveness.
Ferronorte is an ongoing railway project in Brazil that promises to revolutionize cargo transport by connecting the Midwest and Southeast regions through more than 700 km of tracks. Focusing on agribusiness and reducing logistics costs, the project is redesigning the country’s transport infrastructure and paving the way for a more sustainable future.
Imagine a continental country where the dependence on road transport overloads the highways and raises logistics costs. Now, visualize over 700 km of tracks linking the Midwest to the Southeast, facilitating the flow of agricultural and mineral commodities. This is the reality of Ferronorte, an ongoing railway project in Brazil that is transforming national logistics.
Designed to connect Santa Fé do Sul in São Paulo to Rondonópolis in Mato Grosso, Ferronorte already has about 700 km operational, with plans for expansion to Cuiabá. Strategic for transporting soybeans, corn, and other agricultural products, the railway reduces costs, increases competitiveness in the international market, and contributes to the sustainable development of the country.

Ferronorte Is a Milestone in Brazilian Railway Engineering
In addition to its economic significance, Ferronorte is a milestone in Brazilian railway engineering. The construction involves bridges, viaducts, tunnels, and modern signaling systems, ensuring efficiency and safety. The works also adopt innovative solutions to overcome environmental challenges, such as fauna crossings and reforestation of impacted areas.
Since its conception in the 1980s, during the agricultural boom in the Midwest, Ferronorte was envisioned as an alternative to road transport. Its implementation reflects Brazil’s determination to integrate productive regions into global markets, promoting economic and social development.
With billions of reais invested in public-private partnerships, Ferronorte is already one of the main agricultural export corridors in Brazil, directly linking the agribusiness of the Midwest to the ports of the Southeast, especially the Port of Santos.
Direct and Indirect Jobs
In addition to generating direct and indirect jobs during its construction and operation, Ferronorte positively impacts communities along its route. Cities like Rondonópolis and Santa Fé do Sul are experiencing economic growth and improvements in quality of life.
On the global stage, Ferronorte compares to major projects like the Trans-Siberian Railway in Russia and the North-South Railway in Brazil. However, it stands out for its specialization in agribusiness, vital to the Brazilian economy.
Sustainable and innovative, Ferronorte is an ongoing railway project in Brazil that connects more than just regions: it unites economic development, environmental preservation, and a promising future for the country.
Sessenta e sete porcento na redução do custo Brasil se investir em trens, mas pelo lobby de petróleo, concessionárias, montadoras etc. O país tá aí “travado nas estradas”. Perdem todos , não querem o país, amam mais o próprio bolso, não querem educação,agora com uma população envelhecida e diminuindo o processo não anda e já não vai entregar o que o atraso destruiu.
Tudo isso acontece pela visão de um grande homem OLacir de Moraes
