Ferrocarril Central Andino (FCCA) is the consortium which operates the Ferrovías Central railway in Peru linking the Pacific port of Callao and the capital Lima with Huancayo and Cerro de Pasco. As one of the Trans-Andean Railways it is the second highest in the world. After a period of operation by the nationalized entity Empresa Nacional de Ferrocarriles del Perú (ENAFER), in July 1999 the government awarded a consortium led by Railroad Development Corporation (RDC) of Pittsburgh, USA, a concession to operate the former Ferrocarril del Centro for 30 years. Investors in Ferrocarril Central Andino include RDC, Juan Olaechea & Company, Minas Buenaventura, ADR Inversiones, and Inversiones Andino.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rrdc.com/op_peru_fcca.html )〕 == Route == The line starts at the port city of Callao and goes through Lima and the Desamparados station parallel to the Rímac River. It crosses into Junín state via the Galera Tunnel, the second highest railroad tunnel in the world. It reaches La Oroya, where it splits in two: the southern branch goes to Huancayo, while the northern branch (previously a line operated by a mining company) goes into Pasco region, through Cerro de Pasco (the regional capital) to the Goyllarisquizga coal mines. Formerly a branch split off at Cerro de Pasco and ran into Pachitea Province in Huánuco region. There are 27 stations. In June 2006, the Peruvian government agreed that FCCA should go ahead with converting the gauge Ferrocarril Huancayo - Huancavelica to gauge. Estimated to take 16 months, the US$33m project was to be funded jointly by the government and the Development Bank of Latin America.〔(Great South American Rail Adventure )〕 This project was finished by October 2010.〔Trains (magazine), March 2009, p68〕 RDC has suggested the building of a , US$400m tunnel in the Andes, to reduce the spectacular Lima - Huancayo journey to 4 hours.〔RailwaysAfrica 15 June 2006〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ferrocarril Central Andino」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
