Lima-Chosic trains that Rafael López Aliaga proposes to incorporate the Lima Railway System present serious failures and deficiencies which must be repaired before operating. The technical report made by Rail Electrical Services LLC And revealed by ‘La Enclerrona’, shows that 84 cars of the 90 -type Gallety need to be reconditioned, because the control cabin is missing the radio and its cables, the safety module is not operational, it has a shipyard window, handrails of the detached lobby, among other damages.

The locomotives are not saved either. Of the 20 units that were originally going to be sent to Lima, only 19 were due to the fact that the technical report ruled out the twentieth locomotive, qualifying it as “not viable for repair” due to serious damage to the front frame caused by a collision, which led to recommend its ‘scrap’.
Not only does this locomotive present failures. Units 903, 910 and 914 require a total reconstruction of their engines before they can be operational. One of them lacks essential pieces, another presents severe internal contamination, and the report suggests even reconsidering whether it is profitable to carry out repairs in these three locomotives.
Failures in 16 locomotives of the Lima-Chosic trains.
The 16 locomotives that remain also record faults and the Rail Electrical Services report recommends that the battery system, fluid and recharge review, air system inspection, verification of the electrical system and brake system test be carried out.
The inspection carried out by Rail Electrical Services LLC reveals that, despite the apparent “generous donation”, trains have a deplorable state that requires a millionaire investment to be rehabilitated. Reconditioning cost projections are approaching US $ 2 0000,000.

Trains presented at inauguration had faults
At the presentation ceremony of the Lima-Chosic trains, Rafael López Aliaga presented the 915 locomotive. According to the technical report requested by the Municipality of Lima, this unit has cold oil leaks under the frame, leaks in the rear seal of the energy generator, water leakage in the main engine and possible drainage problems.
The 4006 car also made a presence at the July ceremony, and curiously it is the one with the greatest failures. The technical review found 17 deficiencies. The control cabin is missing the radio and its cables, the safety module, shipyard, handrail of the bullshit, etc. is not operational, etc. Similar happened with car 3829, which also paraded at the July ceremony. 12 failures were detected, from the lack of several windows and light lenses, to cuts in the brake pipes.
The same happened at the ceremony held at Callao. The 4000 car recorded 13 failures: cables of the electrical and communication system cut and stolen; disappearance of four windows and both cabin mirrors; inter alia.
Despite the numerous failures found in all units, the company that made the technical review considered these failures as “minor adjustments.”
Ministry of Transportation and Communications is pronounced
After the revelation of the Technical Report, the MTC advisors chief confirmed that “there are significant technical gaps”, so the portfolio will send letters to the Comptroller, Prosecutor’s Office and Congress so that they can carry out the investigations of the case.
“Not only have technical resources committed to bring trains, but also for the preparation of the technical report,” said Alberto Rojas, confirming that he will denounce those responsible in case in case they have
