Ferrocarril de Antofagasta removes 524 tons of waste

Ferrocarril de Antofagasta (FCAB) has removed 524 tons of waste, including household garbage and debris, from various sectors of the railway strip in Antofagasta during the first half of 2026.

The cleanup operations are part of a permanent maintenance program designed to ensure railway operational safety and recover spaces near the tracks. The company aims to address areas with significant accumulation of waste and unused items, which can create operational risks, impact the local environment, and become sources of unsanitary conditions or insecurity for nearby residents and commuters.

FCAB utilizes permanent monitoring of the railway strip to identify critical points and coordinate cleaning efforts. The company also works with local neighbors and social organizations to identify areas requiring attention, seeking to balance railway activity with safe coexistence in urban environments.
