High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The rail transport network in Colombia has a total length of 3,304 km. There are 150 km of 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1/2 in) standard gauge connecting Cerrejon coal mines to maritime port of Puerto Bolivar at Bahia de Portete, and 3,154 km of 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge of which 2,611 km are in use. The state-owned railway company (National Railways of Colombia) was liquidated in the 1990s. Railway concessions were awarded on July 27, 1999 to Ferrocarriles del Norte de Colombia S.A. (FENOCO), as the Atlantic concession, and on November 4, 1998 to the Sociedad Concesionaria de la Red Ferrea del Pacifico SA, later named Tren de Occidente SA as the Pacific concession. Since 1991 the section La Loma - Puerto Drummond, with 192 kilometers, transports coal. Also from July 2003 the section Bogota - Belencito, with 257 kilometers, is operating on the Atlantic concession transporting cement. In the Pacific concession the section between La Paila and Buenaventura has a total of 292 kilometers.
