New connections of the Paraná Oeste Railroad
Brazil is increasingly investing in the modernization and expansion of several railroad lines, the Estrada de Ferro Paraná Oeste is one of these lines. Upgrading the oldest railroad in the country with new connections, massive expansion of sustained cities and increase in cargo transported, it represents several changes in the affected regions, for the rest of the country, and for other countries, in terms of the current potential of railroads in Brazil.
Being normally dismissed when it comes to being thought of as a real alternative for the transport of products and commodities, the railroads can, through the Nova Estrada de Ferro Paraná, mean an advance both in the logistics of the economic sector, as well as a useful adaptation to problems that will come in the future.

New Paraná West Railroad
The New Paraná Oeste Railroad is part of a private expansion project, with a total length of 1285 kilometers. It passes through the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, in the cities of Mundo Novo, Eldorado, Iguatemi, Amambai, Caarapó, Dourados, Itaporã and Maracaju. In the state of Paraná, it connects the cities of Cascavel and Foz do Iguaçu, and Cascavel and Guarapuava, creating a new route over the Original Railroad.
The main objective of this New Paraná Railroad is to expand the loads transported in a determined period of years, so that both the states of Mato do Grosso do Sul and Paraná, both states that increasingly increase industrial and agribusiness (which sustains this endeavor), can take advantage of and increase this old system, and make it more efficient for the new times.
Sustainable Character of the New Paraná Oeste Railroad
With several alternatives such as 10 tunnels, 25 viaducts and 4 bridges, the Nova Estrada de Ferro Paraná project also consists of being sustainable, and that in all aspects of the project, whether in the construction or continuation of the rail networks.With great care so that urban areas remain unaffected, the objective of the construction is also not to reach regions with high vegetation and at the same time also to avoid the use of earthworks that deforests, and to make the project something serious and that meets the qualities of the national production green seal. All of this, of course, while maintaining the highest production for the business, so that the infrastructure does not cause problems, also with a focus on not affecting the quilombola or indigenous areas nearby.
New Connections for the Paraná Oeste Railroad
There are many new connections that involve the entire project of the Nova Estrada de Ferro Paraná Oeste. Leaving Guarapuava going to the Port of Paranaguá, replacing the descent from Serra Mar, one of the new connections will be created. Another will be done leaving Cascavel going to Maracaju. The forecast is to create something called by the project the “Western Export Corridor”, with a view to creating new strategic corridors for the export and import of agribusiness products. Countries that will also be linked to this project include Argentina and Paraguay, which will also benefit from the export of agribusiness products and may be part of this new western rail transport corridor.
Technical feasibility project
The entire financial viability of the project is supported by the private sector and by encouraging further expansions from it. Created in 2021, the project is part of a broad scheme currently taking place in the country, which seeks to take the total organization of the railroads out of the hands of the State, and thus with the help of private companies to make freight transport by trains grow again.
Ferroeste is a Brazilian state-owned company, supported mainly by the government of Paraná, but with the help of new financiers, as soon as the “Year Zero” of the New Paraná Railroad begins, an impressive 26 million tons of cargo will already be transported. Goal that intends to be increased by another 100% in a period of 60 years.
In the list of products that will be transported by the Nova Estrada de Ferro Paraná are soy, corn, wheat, sugar, oil, meat, fertilisers, fertilizers and fuels. All this is in accordance with a plan made this year, which aims to increasingly expand access to rail transport within the country, and finally be able to make these products no longer dependent on the road sector, which is reaching its limit for the due transport of cargo.
Conclusion
In conclusion, we can see several factors that are in agreement for the event of the Nova Estrada de Ferro Paraná Oeste. Among them, there is the new posture of the State in relation to the financing and control of the transport of loads by rail in Brazil. Through the New Paraná Railroad, the country will be able to see how an old railroad network can be extensively expanded and adapted to the conventions and demands of the new times.
From then on the connections between states and country, a sector that is routinely devalued can acquire new foundations, new objectives and new achievements. The important thing about all this renovation is that it is unique in the country's history, and it may also represent an answer to several new problems arising within the transport sector. Such as the excess fuel spent for transport on highways, the sustainability that must involve projects for the future of a country, and the efficient logistics that must be included in the means available to the State and entrepreneurs.
