About Rumo Malha Paulista
Rumo Malha Paulista, 1.989 km long, is the most important agribusiness export corridor in broad gauge (1,60 m), through which freight from the Midwest circulates, originating from Rumo Malha Norte and Rumo Malha West (the latter, in metric gauge, accesses the Malha Paulista in Mairinque/SP, where the gauge is mixed) and destination for the Port of Santos.
It crosses the entire State of São Paulo in the Northwest-Southeast direction, from Rubinéia, on the banks of the Paraná River, to Santos. The descent of Serra do Mar is done by simple adherence. It also includes the Colombia branch, which departs from Araraquara in a North direction until it reaches the banks of the Rio Grande, and the Panorama branch, which departs from Itirapina in a West direction, until it reaches the Paraná River.
The main transport flows come from the North and West networks, bound for Santos. The main goods handled in 2018, in thousands of useful tons, were:
- corn, 9.855;
- soybeans, 6.996;
- sugar, 2.629;
- soybean meal, 4.053;
- diesel oil, 1.428;
A large part of the grant for this project, estimated at R$ 2,91 billion, may be directed to investments in the public interest, such as new investments in the network itself or in other interventions in the national railway network (cross investments). These improvements will be the obligation of the concessionaire.
