Alstom to modernise 1,800km of railway signalling in Chile

French rolling stock manufacturer Alstom has partnered with EFE Trenes de Chile to modernise the nation’s railway signalling over an 1,800km network.

This contract involves implementing the Virtual Signalling Control (CSV) project, which aims to revolutionise rail traffic management with a cutting-edge digital information system.

The CSV project is set to enhance rail mobilisation systems with a digital solution that supports the growing passenger and freight demands.

This modernisation initiative will integrate a central control centre with both existing and new interlocking equipment, offering a unified operational interface across the vast network.

Alstom Chile manager director Denis Girault said: “At Alstom we work every day for modern and sustainable mobility, which delivers innovative, reliable and safe solutions.

“This contract confirms Alstom’s innovative nature and its versatility in delivering tailor-made solutions to meet the needs of customers and the mobility of Chileans, to which we have a long-term commitment.”
