Three trains are currently in Bogotá, with a fourth arriving on January 8, 2026, and subsequent arrivals every 15 days, totaling 30 trains by October 2026.
Initial tests involve a driver operating the train on a 1-kilometer test track within the workshop yard, reaching speeds up to 80 km/h.
The project aims to complete 70% of its construction by the end of 2025.
By the first half of 2026, trains are expected to operate on over 5,000 meters of the viaduct.
The first four stations are planned to be completed in shell form by May or June 2026.
Enel Colombia invested approximately $60 billion to energize the El Porvenir substation, powering the workshop yard.
Commercial operation is targeted for March 2028.
Total investment to date is $6.1 trillion, with an additional $5.3 trillion needed for 2026.
The project is financed by Bogotá (70%) and the Nation (30%) through future vigencies, supplemented by multilateral bank loans.
