 The southern line runs as far as Puerto Montt and is electrified as far as the city of Temuco, from where diesel locomotives are used.Due to lack of budget and care, the 389 km Temuco to Puerto Montt section was abandoned in 1992 but after a $44m upgrade it has been back in use since 6 December 2005 with daily service between Victoria (north of Temuco) and Puerto Montt; today, however only the service between Victoria and Temuco still operates.Work to build/restore(?)
