this month when the new legal regulation <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/GOC-2018-EX42.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">published<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0last Wednesday in the Official Gazette, in its extraordinary edition number 42, comes into force.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The new legislations will allow \u201cas a new aspect\u201d the exploitation \u201cin everything and everywhere\u201d of the \u201crailroad lines, installations and running material\u201d in the country by \u201can individual or legal entity, national or foreign,\u201d Edmundo Ronquillo, advisor to the Ministry of Transportation (MITRANS), indicated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These updated regulations will come into force in less than 30 days and will authorize private individuals to work as \u201crailroad operator in the modality of self-employed worker for freight and passenger transportation,\u201d Ronquillo explained.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, the Cuban self-employed will only be allowed to operate transportation means through \u201cthird and fourth category\u201d lines, the MITRANS advisor specified.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In general, the regulations include \u201cindispensable elements for their good working order in terms of safety and training\u201d and seek to eliminate \u201cthe regulation\u201d that currently governs in relation to railroads, Prensa Latina news agency <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prensa-latina.cu\/index.php?o=rn&amp;id=204385&amp;SEO=actualizan-marco-juridico-del-sistema-cubano-de-ferrocarriles\" target=\"_blank\">affirms<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ronald Boffil, director of the <a href=\"https:\/\/oncubamagazine.com\/tag\/ferrocarril-cubano\/\" target=\"_blank\">Railroad Transportation Administration<\/a>, affirmed in a press conference that Decree Law 348 and its complementary regulations are updating the sector\u2019s action and safety protocols, which is \u201ca vital support\u201d for the development program previewed up to the next decade that includes \u201cthe modernization of the infrastructure in its entire component and running material.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/oncubamagazine.com\/noticia\/ferrocarril-cubano-busca-recuperarse-2028\/<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Boffil affirmed that, among other issues, the new legal framework seeks to regulate everything referring to auxiliary and related services, as well as the organization of the operators of this transportation system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The new regulations establish a new classification for the railroads: public service, industrial or private service, as well as three management modalities for their exploitation or operation, which include state orders, the administration concession and approval by permit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to the specialists, the document offers \u201ca more wide-ranging vision about the railroad infrastructures,\u201d which comprise the lines and their vicinity, and also the installations, the telecommunications systems and information technologies, the signaling and the railroad operation service. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moreover, they set at 15 meters the stretch of right of way for the entire island and forbid \u201cthe circulation and passage of persons, animals and all types of vehicles along the railroad tracks or throughout its center.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The persons who use, administer or own a plot of land or another building adjacent to the stretch of right of way are obliged to place and maintain in a good state the perimeter fences that demarcate and prevent the access of persons not related to the railroad or the cattle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The new provisions also regulate the correct exploitation and circulation of the trains, and establish that these means of transportation \u201cmust have be in a good technical state and be obliged to undergo railroad technical revision.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The National Committee for the Management of Railroad Safety is created, and according to the specialists \u201cit will favor the adoption of corrective and preventative measures capable of minimizing the incidents that can arise in that transportation system.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cNew definitions\u201d are also incorporated regarding railroad accidents which have caused several deaths and dozens of wounded in recent years due to \u201chuman indiscipline and neglect.\u201d The limitation of circulation on the railroad tracks that are not \u201capt for withstanding or allowing traffic\u201d will be established as a safety measure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/oncubamagazine.com\/sociedad\/chu-chu-a-pasa-el-tren\/<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The new legal framework implies the training of more than 21,600 workers, affirmed Eduardo Hern\u00e1ndez, general director of the Railroad Union.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to Hern\u00e1ndez, the group of regulations forms part of the improvement of the railroad sector in Cuba, to which \u201cnew Russian large- and medium-size locomotives already in the country must be added soon.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moreover, the modernization of a workshop for the repair of these machines has been planned, in which aggregates like starting engines and compressors will be manufactured.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The railroad was inaugurated in Cuba on November 19, 1837, nine years before its Spanish metropolis, with the startup of a line that communicated Havana with the nearby town of Bejucal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At present the island has more than 4,000 kilometers of public lines, on which mostly diesel locomotives run, and some 7,000 kilometers dedicated to the transportation of sugar, although a part has been left unused after the dismantling of a great amount of factories last decade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In order to modernize the railroad, the Cuban government has negotiated several contracts in recent years, among them a multimillion agreement with Russia to purchase the locomotives and another with France\u2019s National Railroad Society.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">EFE \/
