Green Train (Section 3 of the Antioquia Railway)

Description: The project involves the construction of the third section of the Antioquia Railway, a railway track for cargo transportation that will extend between the municipalities of Barbosa and Puerto Berrío, in order to rehabilitate the railway corridor from Medellín to Puerto Berrío for cargo transportation and passengers and integrate with the Medellín Metro in the Aburrá Valley. The railway will mobilize domestic and export-import cargo generated in the Aburrá Valley and the nearby Eastern Antioquia to and from the port of Santa Marta. It will enable integration and operational articulation with the country's multimodal logistics network (Magdalena River, 4G Highways and Dorada – Chiriguaná railway network).

The train is expected to benefit around 4,261,756 inhabitants.
