Editing Inter-city rail (section)

===South America===
A few countries of South America were once interconnected by international train services, but today they are almost non-existent, with the noticeable exceptions of Argentina and Chile. Most governments in the continent have favored roads and automobile transportation since the mid-20th century.

====Argentina====
[[Argentina]] has inter-city services on a number of routes, run by [[Operadora Ferroviaria Sociedad del Estado]]. Trains in Argentina are experiencing a revival, since the government intends to re-establish long-distance passenger trains between major cities.

====Bolivia====
Inter-city train services in [[Bolivia]] are operated by two train companies: Eastern and Western.  The western network runs daily trains from [[Oruro, Bolivia|Oruro]] to [[Tupiza]], with both espresso (fast) and WaraWara (slow) trains. The eastern rail hub is [[Santa Cruz de la Sierra]], with connections to [[Puerto Suárez]] and [[Villamontes]], and international lines to [[Brazil]] and Argentina.

====Brazil====
[[Brazil]]'s inter-city services operate on two routes, one from [[Vitória, Espírito Santo|Vitória]] to [[Belo Horizonte]] ([[Vitória-Minas Railway]]) and another from [[Parauapebas]] to [[São Luís, Maranhão|São Luís]]. A [[Trens Intercidades|third service]] was proposed by [[São Paulo (state)|São Paulo]] state government to operate from [[São Paulo]] to [[Americana, São Paulo|Americana]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.metrocptm.com.br/em-apresentacao-cptm-traz-mais-detalhes-sobre-o-trem-intercidades/|title=Em apresentação, CPTM traz mais detalhes sobre o Trem Intercidades|website=Metrô CPTM|language=pt|first=Ricardo|last=Meier|date=5 October 2019|access-date=8 January 2021|trans-title=In presentation, CPTM brings more details about Inter-city Train}}</ref>
