What is FERROTRANS?

FERROTRANS was created with a clear purpose: to develop a modern and efficient freight railway system under a public-private partnership (PPP) model. This strategic project aims to transform national logistics through a railway network that connects the Port of caldera with the intermodal station in Ciruelas, Alajuela (GAM), ensuring a more agile, safe, and sustainable movement of goods.

64 km of railway track with international standards (UIC 54).

Modern intermodal yards, maintenance workshops, operational offices, and centralized traffic control systems.

State-of-the-art rolling stock: 2,000 HP diesel-electric locomotives and specialized container flatcars.

A new railway logistics center

With FERROTRANS, , we move towards a new railway logistics hub that connects the Pacific with the country’s productive heart, integrating ports, intermodal yards, and the necessary infrastructure to make Costa Rica a more competitive and sustainable territory, with the vision of conducting studies for the expansion of a second track, passenger transport, and the extension to the Port of Punta Morales.
