If the railway were replacing a road network which would be closed off and allowed to reforest itself, then that would be progress.

Oh i agree with you, though i must say that trade with China will increase as long as the State of China keep buying commodities because the agribusiness sector has captured the Brazilian State and has been able to get massive funding for their activities. They have the majority of the congress. Like 2/3 of all politicians in Brasília are linked to agribusiness industry.
