Sarmiento Line to Skip Liniers This Weekend for Signaling Upgrade

Trenes Argentinos will cut power across all four tracks to install new trunk signaling cables under the Emergency Ferroviaria program.

Overview

  • Service will bypass Liniers on Oct. 31 from 10:00 to 15:00, followed by a full‑day closure of the stop on Nov. 1 and Nov. 2.
  • The upgrade targets the stretch between the Barragán and Granaderos level crossings to improve safety and curb control‑system failures.
  • The operator warned that unfavorable weather could postpone or suspend the works.
  • On Nov. 2, San Martín trains will operate only between Retiro and José C. Paz, and the Retiro–Junín long‑distance service will be suspended.
  • Further works set for Nov. 15–16 at Caballito will require a third‑rail power cut, restricting Once–Moreno trains to the Liniers–Moreno section.
