What are difficulties in development of railway system in brazil 's internal area by brainly?
Answers
The rusting tracks of Brazil’s Transnordestina railway peter out and give way to a dirt trail in a remote corner of the country’s arid northeast, far from the ports or farms it was meant to serve.
No trains run on these tracks and the cleared path for one of Brazil’s most ambitious infrastructure projects is used only by local cars, and the odd stray cow.
It was due to be delivered next month, but after 10 years of construction and 6 billion reais ($1.76 billion) of mostly public investment, the 1,700-km project is only half complete.
As a new center-right government seeks billions of dollars in private investment for airports, roads and railways, the Transnordestina highlights the challenge of resolving Brazil’s massive infrastructure problems, especially now that the worst recession in decades has battered its ability to finance public works.
The railroad’s future is in doubt as the new government is wary of sinking billions of reais more into a venture unlikely to offer a return on investment.
That reluctance could be the death knell for a generation of grand projects meant to drive development, including an east-west railway in Bahia state and an oil refinery in Rio de Janeiro state that hemorrhaged public funds for years without ever being finished
“This was meant to bring cheap fuel and jobs for the population,” said farmer Francisco Emiliano, a 58-year-old father of seven, who lives beside the railway line here. “Everything has stopped. A lot of people are unemployed now.”
