Rail services in Brazil face maintenance disruptions

Various rail services in Brazil are undergoing maintenance and infrastructure improvements this weekend.

In São Paulo, the Companhia Paulista de Trens Metropolitanos (CPTM) has announced changes to passenger boarding and alighting on Lines 10-Turquesa and 12-Safira. On Saturday, Line 12-Safira will restrict boarding at Aracaré Station to platform 2 to allow for tree pruning. On Sunday, Line 10-Turquesa will operate on a single track between Rio Grande da Serra and Ribeirão Pires-Antonio Bespalec from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, with passengers directed to platform 2. Additionally, Rio Grande da Serra Station will use platform 1 from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM for track maintenance.

In Teresina, the Companhia Ferroviária e de Logística do Piauí (CFLP) is suspending Light Rail Vehicle (VLT) circulation on the Itararé Branch from Friday to Sunday. The suspension is due to the replacement of rails and sleepers between Curva do Renascença and Renascença Station. While the Itararé Branch is affected, the Colorado Branch will continue normal operations.
