Central Plateau Railway (EF-355)
The EF-355 Railway is a strategic project that will connect Brasília (DF) to the EF-030 and the national railway network, consolidating one of the most important logistics corridors in Brazil. With a length of 452 km, this railway will cross 16 municipalities and will play a fundamental role in the interiorization of the economy and the integration of the country's main production hubs.
Municipalities crossed
• Federal District: Brasilia.
• Goiás: Cristalina, Luziânia, Novo Gama, Santo Antônio do Descoberto, Alexânia, Corumbá de Goiás, Cocalzinho de Goiás, Vila Propício, Goianésia, Barro Alto, Santa Rita do Novo Destino, São Luiz do Norte, Uruaçu, Campinorte e Mara Rosa.
Strategic Connections
In the municipality of Mara Rosa (GO), the EF-355 will be integrated with the Central-West Integration Railway (FICO/EF-354) and the North-South Railway (FNS/EF-151), expanding the logistics options for the transportation of grains and other agricultural products from one of the most productive regions in Brazil. This integration reinforces the export capacity and the flow of goods, reducing costs and transportation times.
Innovation and Sustainability
The EF-355 will feature modern infrastructure and competitive fares, enabling more efficient and sustainable transportation. The project prioritizes advanced technological solutions that will reduce carbon emissions, promoting a reduced environmental impact and contributing to Brazil's logistics transition to a greener model.

In addition to attracting investment and fostering new production chains, the project will also boost job creation, directly benefiting the municipalities served.
The EF-355 is more than a railway line; it is a development vector that will integrate strategic regions of Brazil, promoting progress, sustainability and competitiveness in the global market.
Corumbá de Goiás-Anápolis Railway (EF-A20)
The Corumbá de Goiás-Anápolis Railway (EFCA), officially registered as EF-A20, is a strategic 68 km long railway branch line designed to connect the EF-355 to the industrial and technological hub of Anápolis, in Goiás. This section will play a key role in diversifying and increasing the region's logistics capacity, connecting areas of high economic and population concentration to the national railway system.
Municipalities crossed
EFCA will visit three important cities in Goiás:
• Corumbá de Goiás: connection point with the Planalto Central Railway (EF-355);
• Abadiânia: region with potential for logistical and industrial development;
• Anápolis: largest industrial and technological hub in Goiás and one of the main economic centers in the Central-West.
Strategic Connections
The Anápolis railway line connects to the city's dry port, enhancing the flow of goods and offering efficient logistical support for local industries. Anápolis is also part of the Goiânia-Brasília axis, one of the most dynamic regions with the greatest demand for goods in Brazil, being only 60 km from the capital of Goiás and with easy access to Brasília.
Economic and Social Impacts
With EFCA, the flow of goods will be optimized, benefiting sectors such as industry, commerce and agriculture. In addition to boosting the industrial development of Anápolis, the railway will attract new investments to the municipalities along its route, generating jobs and income for the local population.

The railway was designed with a focus on efficiency and reduced environmental impact, contributing to cleaner and more sustainable transportation. With modern infrastructure, EFCA will integrate rail and road modes, creating a robust and efficient logistics solution to meet the growing needs of the region.
EFCA is a milestone in strengthening Brazil's railway infrastructure, connecting production centers to national and international markets, promoting progress and competitiveness.
Possible Railway Integrations of PetroCity Ferrovias.
PetroCity Ferrovias has in its routes, already approved by the Government, two possible integrations with the North-South Railway (EF-151) and with the Central-West Integration Railway (EF-354), in the municipality of Mara Rosa, in the northwest of Goiás.
• FICO and Ferrovia Norte Sul (FNS): With approved routes, the integration in Mara Rosa (GO) connects the agribusiness of the Central-West to the ports of Itaqui (MA), Santos (SP) and Urussuquara (ES). This interconnection expands the transportation of grains and other products, meeting the growing logistical demand of the region.
• Vitoria to Minas Railway (EFVM): The connection in Governador Valadares (MG) links the Vale do Rio Doce to the Urussuquara TUP infrastructure, while PetroCity customers will have access to the ports of Espírito Santo served by EFVM.
These integrations offer complete logistics solutions, connecting national and international markets and strengthening export and import transportation in Brazil.
Possible integration of PetroCity Ferrovias with the national railway grid.
Caravelas/BA to Araçuaí/MG Railway – MTC Caravelas : The Caravelas/BA to Araçuaí/MG Railway, managed by MTC Multimodal Caravelas SA, is an initiative authorized and contracted with the Federal Government. It will connect to PetroCity Ferrovias' EF-030 in the municipality of Teófilo Otoni (MG), creating a strategic integration for railway and port logistics.
MTC is also expanding the Port of Caravelas (BA), which will be directly connected to the railway. This synergy will allow for the sharing of infrastructure, expanding the types and volumes of goods transported and benefiting both operations. This partnership has already been formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between PetroCity Ferrovias and MTC.
Benefits of Integrations: Rail connections bring substantial gains to the economy and the environment, reducing logistics costs and increasing Brazil's competitiveness in the international market. In addition, a robust rail network ensures faster and more reliable deliveries, which are essential for sectors such as agribusiness and mining, contributing to the country's sustainable and integrated development.
