EF Noroeste do Brasil
The railway company Estrada de Ferro Noroeste do Brasil (NOB) was a Brazilian railway company that operated a rail network with a track width of 100 cm and a length of 1622 km. This network was constructed at the beginning of the 20th century and went from the state of São Paulo, from Bauru to the border to Bolívia in Corumbá in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Here a union with the rail network of the Bolivian railway company was established.
history
At the beginning there was a private initiative for the construction of the line in 1904, but the project came under the state control of the Companhia Estrada de Ferro Noroeste do Brasil in 1917 before its completion. In 1957, the route network was included in the Ferroviária Federal (RFFSA) speech . Here the rail network was also run under the name Malha Oeste (western network) and later under Ferrovia Novoeste SA. Today all railway lines with a concession for 30 years of use belong to the logistics group América Latina Logística SA, after the railway lines Ferrovia Novoeste and Brasil Ferrovias were merged in 2006.
