Ferrocarriles en el Perú: ¿Qué tan importantes fueron? Luis Felipe Zegarra* Abstract This paper analyzes the evolution and main features of the railway system of Peru in the 19th and early 20th centuries. From mid-19th century railroads were considered a promise for achieving progress. Several railroads were then built in Peru, especially in 1850-75 and in 1910-30. With the construction of railroads, Peruvians saved time in travelling and carrying freight. The faster service of railroads did not necessarily come at the cost of higher passenger fares and freight rates. Fares and rates were lower for railroads than for mules, especially for long distances. However, for some routes (especially for short distances with many curves), the traditional system of llamas remained as the lowest pecuniary cost (but also slowest) mode of transportation. Key words: Transportation, railroads, Peru, Latin America. JEL classification: N70, N76, R40. * Luis Felipe Zegarra is PhD in Economics of University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). -
Lightweight Primary Structures for High-Speed Railway Carbodies
25 número 5 - junio - 2018. Pág 9 - 21 Lightweight primary structures for High-speed railway carbodies De la Guerra, Eduardo Talgo1 Abstract The railway industry are looking to increase the capacity of the railway system, bringing flexibility in order to align capacity and demand, to increase availability, reliability and energy efficiency reducing life cycle costs (LCC) and an improvement of the passenger comfort and the attractiveness of the rail transport. One of the lines of action to solve the above challenges is the introduction of new carbody structures. The weight saving potential of the use of new materials and technologies in the carbody structures would result in reduced power consumption, lower inertia, less track wear and the ability to carry greater payloads. One example of the employ of light structures is Talgo AVRIL train, with an innovative layout of seats that allows to introduce one extra seat per row (3+2 configuration), increasing dramatically the capacity of the train. It has been possible, respecting the current regulatory framework, with an optimized design of the extruded aluminium structure. It will be presented different challenges of introducing lighter structures in the carbodies of coaches of high speed train and different studies and projects to describe the future possibilities of new material and methodologies to improve the lightness of the vehicles. Keywords: lightweight, Rolling stock, carbody. 1 De la Guerra, Eduardo. Technical Leader of the R&D Projects. Structures Department.Talgo.

The Lithosphere of Southern Peru: a Result of the Accretion of Allochthonous Blocks During the Mesoproterozoic
7th International Symposium on Andean Geodynamics (ISAG 2008, Nice), Extended Abstracts: 105-108 The lithosphere of Southern Peru: A result of the accretion of allochthonous blocks during the Mesoproterozoic Víctor Carlotto1,2, José Cárdenas2, & Gabriel Carlier3 1 INGEMMET, Avenida Canada 1470, San Borja, Lima 41, Peru ([email protected]) 2 Universidad Nacional San Antonio Abad del Cusco (UNSAAC), Peru 3 Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Département "Histoire de la Terre", USM 201-CNRS UMR 7160, 61, rue Buffon, 75005 Paris, France KEYWORDS : Southern Peru, Altiplano, lithosphere, accretion, Mesoproterozoic Introduction Southern Peru exhibits different juxtaposed structural blocks. These blocks have a distinct sedimentary, tectonic and magmatic evolution. They are bounded by complex, mainly NW-SE fault systems, locally marked by Cenozoic and Mesozoic magmatic units. The specific Mesozoic and Cenozoic geologic evolution of each structural block is ascribed to the high heterogeneity of the southern Peruvian depth lithosphere. This lithosphere results from the accretion of different lithospheric blocks during Laurentia-Amazonia collision at around 1000 Ma. Structural domains Southern Peru is characterized by the following morpho-structural domains (Figure 1): - The Western Cordillera, which exposes siliciclastic and carbonate marine and non-marine formations correspondining to the filling of a Mesozoic though (the Western Peruvian Mesozoic Basin); - The Western Altiplano, which acted as a structural high (the Cusco-Puno structural high) during the Mesozoic times and received more than 10 km of continental red beds during the Cenozoic; - The Eastern Altiplano and the Eastern Cordillera, which show the Mesozoic sedimentary cover and the pre-Mesozoic basement of a second mainly marine basin (the Eastern Peruvian Mesozoic Basin), respectively. -

Solemn pilgrimages honor gods both Christian and indigenous. Neon-lit discos get jam-packed with reveling youth. Ancient ruins regularly divulge bits of prehistory. And then, of course, there is the food – a bounty of sublime concoctions made from ingredients native and contemporary. Welcome to Peru – it’s going to be one tasty trip. RICHARD I’ANSON 02-best-of-per7.indd 5 17/12/2009 1:21:43 PM 6 Essential Peru There’s north, there’s south, desert and jungle. There are museums to visit, lakes to ogle, waves to surf, labyrinthine cities to explore – and enough ancient ruins to keep archaeologists employed for centuries. Where to start? This is our guide to a few essentials.
