Since 1 June 1994, the station is operated by CPTM. Project On 29 January 2005, CPTM published the Concurrence no. 8379402011, aiming the modernization/rebuilding of 12 stations, divided in 6 allotments of 2 stations each. Francisco Morato was part of allotment 3, along with Jaraguá. On 18 March 2005, the final result was published, be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Power is usually provided by Diesel locomotive, diesel or Electric locomotive, electric locomotives. While railway transport is capital intensity, capital-intensive and less flexible than road transport, it can carry heavy loads of passengers and cargo with greater energy efficiency and safety.
