The International Co-operative for
the Development of Latin-American Railways AIFFLA has now been working
for nearly two years. Up to know AIFFLA was heavily dependent from its
mother organisation FLB. This should change now. Buy AIFFLA bonds and help
to make AIFFLA independent and powerful. AIFFLA is already working. In
Uruguay the organisation was helping Urutren to buy a rail bus. In Brazil
AIFFLA will help restoring a Locobreque of the former São Paulo
- Santos funicular railway as soon as a financing and work plan has been
established. For more information look at
www.aiffla.com
Bonds for CHF50.00 and CHF100.00 are
available in unlimited quantities. Orders may be placed at: FAHRPLANCENTER,
S. Rachdi, Bahnhof, CH-6422 Steinen SZ, info@fahrplancenter.com
, your order will be forwarded. Interested customers in EU countries may
pay to a German account, excluding high international money transfer rates.
