Bogotá Savannah Railway

[1] RegioTram Occidente is planned to run on the routes of the former railway from 2024, connecting Bogotá with the Facatativá, Mosquera, Madrid and Funza from 2024.

A new contract was made with an American venture called “Savannah Railway Company”.

In time, the railways expanded across the Bogotá Savannah reaching a length of about 200 km.

In 1917 the Estacion de la Sabana was built by the English engineer William Lidstone; this building served as Central Station for the national railway as well.

By that time the Railway's service covered the following towns: Chapinero, Usaquen, Sopo, Tocancipa, Nemocon, Suesca, Gachancipa, Cajica, Fontibon, Madrid, Mosquera, Facatativa, Bosa, Soacha, Sibate and Usme.
