TerraSur
Inter-city rail service in Chile
Tren Estación Central - Chillan (previously known as EFE Chillán or TerraSur) is a Chilean Inter-city rail service, opened in 2001 between Santiago and Chillán, on the Chilean Central Valley. It is operated by the Trenes Regionales Terra S.A., a subsidiary of the Empresa de los Ferrocarriles del Estado (EFE). Covering almost 400 km in less than 5 hours, it is the fastest public transportation between the two cities.
Currently it is one of the only inter-city services that still operates in the country, (the other intercity rail service is the Alameda-Temuco train, a seasonal train) and is the fastest rail service in South America,[1] with an operational speed reaching 160 km/h.
Since June 2012, TerraSur has two daily services on each direction, between Santiago and Chillán, increasing to three on Mondays.
