The Colombia railway network has a total length of 3,304 kilometres (2,053 mi). There are 150 kilometres (93 mi) of 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1⁄2 in) standard gauge connecting Cerrejón coal mines to the maritime port of Puerto Bolivar at Bahia Portete, and 3,154 kilometres (1,960 mi) of 3 ft (914 ملم) narrow gauge of which 2,611 kilometres (1,622 mi) are in use. The state-owned railway company (National Railways of Colombia) was liquidated in the 1990s. Since then the only passenger trains are tourist trains on the Bogotá savanna railway, now called Turistren, between Bogotá and Zipaquirá. In addition a funicular operates up the mountain of Monserrate in Bogotá.
