Line 3 (São Paulo Metro)
Line 3 (Red) () is one of the six lines that make up the São Paulo Metro and one of the thirteen lines that make up the Metropolitan Rail Transportation Network. It runs between Palmeiras-Barra Funda and Corinthians-Itaquera. It was formerly called the East-West Line. Line 3 is the busiest in the system.

But after a lengthy debate, it was decided that it would be constructed on the surface, taking advantage of the old Rede Ferroviária Federal train bed and sharing of its lines—a move that prevented many expropriations. Construction began in 1972. With this design change, the East-West line would then be more than long between Praça da Sé and Guaianases, parallel to the railroad tracks.

Heavy Industry
Heavy industry is an industry that involves one or more characteristics such as large and heavy products; large and heavy equipment and facilities (such as heavy equipment, large machine tools, huge buildings and large-scale infrastructure); or complex or numerous processes.

Because of their intensity, heavy industries are also significant contributors to greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate ...
