Our fleet is made up of 89 locomotives and more than 3000 cars adapted to different purposes. One of our permanent objectives is to improve and modernize our cars on a continious basis, in order to respond to the changing needs of the market.

Our History
The history of the railroad in Chile dates back to 1851, when private railroad companies began transporting copper and saltpeter in the north, later extending their services to the coal mining industry in the south. At the end of the XIX century the State of Chile began the process of nationalizing the railroads and then extending the network to improve freight and passenger services. This expansion continued until the 70s after which investments were reduced resulting in the progressive deterioration of the railroad.

In the 90s the government decided to privatize part of the network in order to revitalized the railroad. As a consequence, Ferrocarril del Pacífico S.A. (Fepasa) was created on September 15, 1993, to take over the freight services offered by the state railroad. In 1994, EFE (the Chilean state railroad company) sold 51% of Fepasa to the private sector through a public bid. Puerto Ventanas S.A. later took the control of Fepasa through a Public Offering in 2003.

Since 1995, Fepasa has expanded its operations by investing in the rehabilitation of its rolling stock, the purchase of rebuilt locomotives, and by placing greater emphasis on improving customer service. As a result, Fepasa has increased its incomes and transport in the last six years.
