Proposed Transoceanic Railways
Proposed routes of the Peru-Bolivia-Brazil Bioceanic Railway Lines that will connect and run through all 3 countries. This proposed project is also known as the Bioceanic or Transoceanic Corridor, with Bolivia benefitting because it will function as a trade corridor between Peru and Brazil.
