Ferrocentral
Ferrocentral is a private railway company in Argentina, its name being a combination of the Spanish words for "Central Rail." It operates long-distance passenger trains from its base at Retiro Station in Buenos Aires to several locations in northern Argentina. All of the train routes managed by Ferrocentral were previously operated by Ferrocarriles Argentinos, the country's now-defunct national passenger railroad corporation. After the break-up of Ferrocarriles Argentinos in 1992, many train services across Argentina were indefinitely discontinued. Since the year 2005, however, Ferrocentral was formed and has successfully resurrected some passenger lines.
As of 2006, Ferrocentral operates the following passenger train services:
Buenos Aires to Rosario
Buenos Aires to Cordoba, via Rosario and Villa Maria
Buenos Aires to Tucuman and points between
Villa Maria to Cordoba and points between
Most trains operate in the late night and early morning hours as the rail lines are used for transporting cargo during the daytime.
