The present invention refers to an improvement developed on a pneumatic transport system for loads and/or passengers whose vehicles are not provided with on-board drive means, being guided on two exclusive tracks arranged in parallel. The vehicles travel over railway tracks laid over an elevated track supported by pillars. The center of the top of the superstructure of the elevated track has a longitudinal slot with seal by means of which the mast of the propulsion plate is allowed to move freely along the path of the vehicle. In the superstructure of the turnout beams there are mounted the mobile rails with their respective drive mechanisms and locking. A section isolation valve is positioned inside the propulsion duct of the turnout beams.
