Peru Rail tren de carga cerca de Puerta de la Raya - 4.313 m (14.150′), Puno, 2017.

The former Ferrocarril del Sur route used by Peru Rail connects the Pacific port of Matarani through Arequipa to Juliaca where it splits, one line leading to Cuzco and the other to Puno. At the moment there is no passenger service over this pass, one of the highest rail lines in the world, but in May a new passenger service between Arequipa and Cuzco with luxury trains is slated to begin operating. Meanwhile the rail line is an important connection from the coast into highland Peru carrying foodstuffs and fuel inland and mineral ores to the coast. It is slated to become an important part of an Atlantic to Pacific rail route, in cooperation with Brasil, though to date transcontinental railroads in South America have never been successfully built and operated.
