| description | This article emphasizes on the importance of rail transportation as a connecting and integratingelement of the national production coming from different sectors of the conomy.Apart from maritime transportation, railroad transportation is the kind of transportation that guarantees long-term sustainability at relatively low rates if compared to land and fluvial transportation. These reasons are thought to be enough to contribute to the market efficiency and international competitiveness. More than 70% of the national production would move through this means clearing the roads, improving its utilization and optimizing its use. This paper highlights the need of generating a more balanced development between the rural and urban sectors of society, without making detailed and critical analysis of the scientific economy. Thus, it is necessary to design again the demographic and territorial planning of Colombia by redistributing the population that belongs to the misery belts found in the main Colombian cities. This may be achieved by applying a policy contrary to the one suggested by Currie Lauchlin in his Accelerated Economic Development in 1968 which stimulated the exodus of peasants towards the urban centers and discouraged politics against rural development that leaves the community homeless and easy prey for violent organizations as guerrillas, paramilitary or drug-dealers forcesNow that the end of the armed conflict seems to be close, we have to be prepared for the post conflict new relations and one of the strategies is to come back to the countryside with a real and effective institutional presence. To do so, we should begin with an effective security that guarantees a lasting peace. This new redistribution of the population requires an efficient integrative infrastructure that assures competitiveness of national production. Thanks to a modern railroad transportation system, we could attain this goal. This ̈new ̈ proposed railroad designs of double lanes integrates the whole country from south to north and from east to west with different connections of international type. They would include two connections by the south with Ecuador, a connection by the northwest with Panama, by the northeast with Venezuela and by the east with Venezuela and possibly with Brazil. It is of great importance the connection between Medellin and Turbo, and Turbo-Bahia Cupica, on the condition that the territories nearby must be completely protected and preserved as a natural reserve or national parks, as it was recommended by socio-environmental studiesThe construction of Metro systems of transport in the main Colombian cities implies a high debt that involves the entire nation budget; while the investment in the double lane rail road’s is really reliable, since the nation gets a good profit from it and it benefits the total dimension toward the country ́s integral development. |

Este artículo hace énfasis en la importancia del transporte férreo, como elemento articulador e integrador de la producción nacional proveniente de los diferentes sectores de la economía. Aparte del transporte marítimo, el transporte férreo es el tipo de transporte que garantiza una sostenibilidad a largo plazo y garantiza unos fletes relativamente más económicos frente al transporte automotor y fluvial, razones éstas que contribuyen a la eficiencia de los mercados y a la competitividad internacional, pues la producción nacional se movilizaría en un porcentaje de más del 70% por este medio, descongestionando las carreteras, mejorando su aprovechamiento y optimizando sus usos. Este trabajo resalta la necesidad de generar un desarrollo más equilibrado entre lo rural y lo urbano, sin entrar en análisis detallados y críticos de la economía científica, pues es necesario replantear el ordenamiento territorial-demográfico colombiano, redistribuyendo la población perteneciente a los cinturones de miseria que se encuentran en las principales ciudades colombianas, aplicando una política contraria a la recomendada por Currie Lauchlin, en su Desarrollo Económico Acelerado, en 1968, que estimuló la expulsión de los campesinos hacia los centros urbanos y desestimuló las políticas de desarrollo rural, para dejarlo desamparado, lo que lo hizo presa fácil de las organizaciones violentas: guerrillas, paramilitares y narcotraficantes. Ahora que se vislumbra el final del conflicto armado, el país debe prepararse para las nuevas relaciones de posconflicto, y una de las estrategias es volver a los territorios rurales con una efectiva presencialidad institucional, empezando por una seguridad efectiva y garante de paz. En esta nueva redistribución de la población, es necesario contar con infraestructura eficiente, integradora y que garantice la competitividad de la producción nacional, necesidad esta que satisface el transporte férreo de calidad, movilizado a través de dobles calzadas férreas, de diseños tecnológicos modernos. Los trazados «nuevos» que se proponen, de dobles calzadas férreas, integran todo el territorio nacional, de sur a norte y de occidente a oriente, con las diferentes conectividades de tipo internacional, así: por el sur, dos conexiones con la República del Ecuador, por el noroccidente, una conexión con la República de Panamá, por el nororiente, con la República Bolivariana de Venezuela, y por el oriente, con la República Bolivariana de Venezuela con posible conectividad con la República de Brasil. Es de gran importancia la conectividad Medellín-Turbo, así como la conexión Turbo-Bahía Cupica, siempre que los territorios que cruza sean totalmente protegidos y mantenidos como reserva natural o parque natural, según las recomendaciones dadas a través de los estudios socioambientales. El comparativo entre las implicaciones que tiene para el presupuesto nacional la relación costobeneficio al construir sistemas Metro en las ciudades, concentrando población, no resulta para nada justificable frente a la inversión de esos mismos recursos en dobles calzadas férreas que, en su dimensión total, benefician el desarrollo integral en todo el territorio.
