Historia
On July 19, 1999, the Peruvian State granted a concession to Ferrocarril Trasandino the railroad track of the Southern Railway, which was responsible for managing the railway infrastructure. The operation of the railways would be carried out by the company PeruRail.[1] Under this contract, it is responsible for the maintenance of rolling stock, railways, stations and bridges, signalling and telecommunications systems.[2] Based on this, Ferrocarril Trasandino began operations in September 1999.[3]
