shall link kilometer 858 of the Carajás Railroad ("EFC") in Parauapebas to Iron Ore Project S11D


Explanation:
EFC - Estrada de Ferro Carajás. You can use "shall" because it is a contract/specification/RFP, etc.

I sometimes translate projects related to EFC also.

kilometer 858 is just a point from where works will continue. If it were a stop or station, it would be specified as such. It could be just simple a stopping point awaiting removal of a major obstacle or construction of a bridge by another contractor. It can be anything, but where not specified otherwise, it is just a point on the railroad from where something should continue.
