History
Valparaíso had an interurban passenger train system since the
19th century, but it couldn't be called a
metro due to infrequent train service and a number of other shortcomings. In
1999 construction began on the current system, tearing down the old stations and building new ones with a homologous design shared between them. In
Viña del Mar, a tunnel more than 5 kilometers in length was constructed. The new train models arrived in Chile
February 22,
2005 and the old system was decommissioned
June 30 of the same year.
Architecture
Between the stations of Puerto and Recreo, the train runs at street level, bordering the coast, parallel to Errázuriz and España Avenues. Then the trains descend into a tunnel below Viana and Álvarez Avenues, and four stations in this sector are underground. The train exits the underground in the industrial sector of El Salto, and the train continues along a winding path to the interior of the metropolitan area.
