During this technical process, the trains move in a controlled manner, with stops, advances and reverses, gradually evaluating the electrical, mechanical and control systems. In addition, simulated internal weight will be incorporated to replicate real operating conditions, the agency said in a note. The circulation speed will gradually increase in the coming weeks, as part of the validation protocol. In September, a special day of dynamic tests will be held, which will be attended by President Luis Abinader, and in which the national press will be invited. The OPRET reaffirmed its commitment to the development of a modern, safe, and efficient transportation system for all Dominicans, and will continue to inform the population about each step of this process
