For the economy of Brazil to be increased, the action of the productive sectors, commerce and services is not enough. In addition to them, the transport logistics infrastructure<\/a> segment is also essential, as they are responsible for moving the inputs produced. Among them, highways, railroads and waterways are the segments that stand out the most here in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although all these modes of transport make up the country's transport logistics infrastructure, there is a big difference in the use of each one, especially when compared to the great powers in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Brazil, for example, highways dominate the country's cargo transport scenario, with more than 200,000 km in length and representing basically 60% of all cargo handled. Meanwhile, rail and waterway are in the background in current models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O railroad sector<\/a> is made up of about 30 thousand km in length, representing a value close to 20% of all national transport. Meanwhile, the waterway modal has more than 40,000 km useful for use, and a large part, unfortunately, is not used. The waterway sector still represents about 16% of cargo transportation in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, the road sector is more than enough in this regard and the other two modes, rail and waterway, are matched. This difference is due to a long process of preference for the road sector, essentially in the 60s, when the government sought to invest in the segment to attract automobile industries from other countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, investment in highways has only grown, while others have suffered and still suffer from a lot of neglect and neglect in infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we said, the composition of railroad and waterway in Brazil is widely used, even if it is not a reference for national transport logistics<\/a> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, we will talk about the railroad sector, understanding its composition, where it operates and what national railroads are used for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spread over 30,000 km in total extension, the railroad sector is divided into 10 completed and active railroad networks, in addition to two more under construction. Each of these networks is managed by different companies or by the federal government itself. Know the names:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
