Mitre Line to Halt Tigre Branch and Truncate Two Others Nov. 21–24 for Emergency Rail Works

Trenes Argentinos cites deteriorated infrastructure over 40 years old as the reason for the intensive safety works.

Overview

  • The Tigre branch will be fully suspended during the long weekend from Friday, November 21, through Monday, November 24.
  • The José León Suárez and Bartolomé Mitre branches will operate only between Belgrano R and their outer termini, with no service to Retiro.
  • Planned tasks include track and sleeper renewal, culvert reconstruction in Núñez and Carupá, and a signaling upgrade at the Retiro approach.
  • The works form part of the government’s Emergencia Ferroviaria program intended to remove slow-speed sections and reduce operational delays.
  • Passengers are advised to use bus routes and Subte lines C and D, with the Tren de la Costa as an option on some trips, and to monitor for weather-related changes.
