The Estrada de Ferro Carajás is a major railway in Brazil, primarily used for transporting iron ore from the Carajás Mine in the state of Pará to the port of São Luís in Maranhão. Spanning approximately 892 kilometers, it plays a crucial role in the mining industry, facilitating the export of one of the world's largest iron ore reserves. Constructed in the 1980s, the railway is operated by Vale S.A., one of the largest mining companies globally. The Carajás Railway not only supports economic growth in the region but also connects various communities along its route, enhancing local infrastructure and accessibility.
