Ferrocarril como medio alternativo de transporte para productos agrícolas e insumos industriales en el Departamento de Boyacá.

Abstract

Duitama is classified as the transporter city of the Colombian Middle East, however, throughout its history and when passing from its Rulers it lost the vision of the importance of the railroads in its territory and surroundings. At the end of the 20th century, important advances were made in the department of Boyacá in terms of railway infrastructure, At that time, this type of transport was seen as one that would change the direction of the economy in the Boyacense territory and much of the north, south, east, west and central area of the country. Unfortunately, in the middle of 2022 these roads are in total deterioration and very few are in operation throughout the national territory. In the case of Duitama, some of these are used exclusively for commercial cargo with a limited weight of tons. It would be an enormous task of the current and future rulers to restore part of these railways, and thus achieve boost the internal economy of each territory.
