Argentine Train Services with modifications
In the last few hours, it was confirmed that two of the Trenes Argentinos services will undergo alterations with respect to their current diagram. On the one hand, the train to Pinamar will run only on weekends “temporarily,” according to the company. Until now, a daily service was offered in each direction that transfers with the Plaza Constitución – Mar del Plata train.While the train between Retiro and Palmira, province of Mendoza , with a biweekly frequency, will run limited to Justo Daract, in the province of San Luis. The entire journey "was suspended, momentarily, since after carrying out a detailed study of the infrastructure, it was concluded that the conditions of the track laying do not provide the necessary operational guarantees for the transfer of passengers," SOFSE announced.
And the train between Bahía Blanca and Plaza Constitución will continue to be suspended “due to the state of the track infrastructure, which is not suitable for the safe circulation of passenger trains,” according to the operator. This service has been suspended since the derailment that occurred in March 2023 and there is no prospect of it being rehabilitated in the short term.
