Argentina went from being one of the countries with the greatest railway activity. to this. We have an incredible railway past, in my city (Rosario) most of the old buildings belonged to railway offices or locomotive workshops and all that, if you remove a bit of pavement from the streets, you will surely find the old rails. We have a rich past in trains, we were a world potence. And well. now we have a train that takes 8 hours to travel 300km. The only ones that still exist in abundance are cargo services because they carry cereals and grains to the ports, but as for passenger services, it seems that only now are they being activated again town by town and city by city, but even that they restore all the sections of rails. it's going to be a good time.
What is annoying is that people from other countries are surprised because we have passenger trains. we are not cavemen or aboriginals. we have cities as modern as any other in Europe or the USA. Remember that the majority of the Argentine population comes from Europe, we were the first Latin American country to have subways and other services at the beginning of the 20th century and before too. Watch some videos about the cities and places in Argentina to get to know a little better what our country is like, after all, we are the eighth largest country in the world, so there are many different regions in the same republic. -
Good video going all that way. Greetings from Rosario

There are steam trains from the early 1800s that can run circles around these crappy -Trenes Argentinos-. Yes, the cars are relatively new and the locomotives are capable of riding at speeds much faster than what they run them at, all because of two main problems: 1- The tracks are in such piss poor state that anything riding faster than 35mph will derail. 2- The banana republic thread world mentality of car drivers and the public - worse than India! - that cross railroad gates even when down, causing countless crashes and deaths. no one ever went to prison for any incident. 80 years of Peronism. Argentina had the most modern and largest railway network in the Americas- second only to the United States - when run by private British firms. Then dictator Juan Doming Peron nationalized them, loaded them up with employees who do next to nothing, and let the trains and tracks rot. No money for maintenance because it was siphoned off by the Peronists. They bought new trains when they should have repaired what they had domestically and rebuilt all the tracks instead. All these generic new trains, the most basic models, are Made In China. The diesel locomotives explode. Electrification never arrived. And they still run on early 20th Century equipment that should be in a museum. Only Cuba has a slightly older and obsolete railroad.

Here in the Philippines, Rock throwing was also a very dangerous thing, and was also very common (mostly by kids in the area.
When you visit the Philippines, you'll notice on some of the older trains, there are outlines of rocks that were thrown.
Also, the windows were changed to some glass that will protect the passengers.
On the light rail, and metro though, not really common. Mostly happens on our National Rail

In the 1970s, the average time for this service was 15 hours. There are already aprox 300 km of renewed tracks but new automatic level crossing systems are still in construction in order to increase the average speed and reduce time travel. Of course, there is no track renewal project yet for the remaining 800 km.

I loved this video, I'm going to try and do it myself! I had a question - how did you sign up for the ticket on the website, because as a foreigner you don't have a DNI, right? Sorry if you covered this in the video but I might be in a rush to get a ticket in time, haha

The Argentina Economy has declared bankruptcy at least nine times, if my memory serves me right, and they have also experimented with different currencies.
But, the nation has a $10000+ per capita income.
Ofcourse compared to South Asia, seems to be more developed.

Argentine railways can learn a lot from the Indian Railways as the needs and problems of both the systems are some what the same.
However the Indian Railways have modernised a lot in the last 25years or so but still there is scope for more improvement.

I am glad that today the Argentine government is investing in reviving old abandoned traces left by Menem and putting in value all the railway material that was left to rot for 20 years. but this is not talked about in the media or done advertising

The roads have already been completely renovated with concrete sleepers up to Rosario. All that remains is to enable the automatic barriers. It is assumed that by the middle of this year the trip to Rosario would require 5 hours.

The difference in the average speeds of two Trains is 14 km/hr.
The faster of the two Trains takes one hour less to travel 195 km than the slower Train takes to travel 204 kms.
Find the average speeds of the two trains!

Los camioneros y sindicatos hacen mierda los rieles para que solo funcionen como tal, no llevar un par de pasajeros y no sirvan. Antes estos viajes en tren eran de 10 horas pero a los sindicatos les encanta que nos quedemos atras.

Argentina. A country with a nice culture, delicious food, tremendous views, the country it used to be the richest in the world 127 years ago, and now it's poor. And it is telling you a true Argentinian person.

An average of 38 km in an express train! In India, you could find a local train faster than that.
Although $20 for a sleeper cabin is impressive. It's equivalent to First AC in India, which would cost $60-80.

sorry to say, In my humble opinion I think South East Asian intercity train is better than South American mostly had. No station platforms, no proper service, and obviously lower speed.

lucky to have gotten a ticket honestly, that route consistently sells out. I rode Cordoba-BsAs back in 2009 on FerroCentral in coach. Very cool ride, very bad sleep.

The Argentinian railways are shameful, slow, and outdated. And I bet you-ve never been to such an uncivilized country as one where people throw rocks at trains.

So this is a typical chinese class 25G A/C carriage but with soft sleeper compartment (RW, basically European style 4-bed Couchette) broken in half. Interesting.
