Passenger trains, which have
been pushed out of the market by the competition from
buses and by a lack of timely investments for modernization,
only run from Santiago south until Concepción (approx.
520 km) and Temuco (approx. 680 km). Nevertheless,
the state-owned railway company has shown some efforts
lately to revert this tendency. Refurbished trains connect
now in less time Santiago with Chillán and intermediate
stations. Compared to the bus, there are few trains leaving
during the day (Temuco: 2, Concepción: 1), but
- for a similar price - they offer more space and services
(bar, restaurant). All trains leave from Estación Central
where you can easily get by the subway.
There is fast and reliable light rail service called Metrotren
40 times a day between Santiago and Rancagua, eight times
a day to San Fernando and intermediates and a fast connection
between Santiago and Chillán (6 times a day, 4-5 hours).
