Hello and thanks for reviewing this! This train is truly outstanding and I would love to ride it one day. I-ve never been to South America, nor in Patagonia, but this interested me! Anyways, I have a little question. Where do you create those maps like in 7: 00, top left corner? I-m looking for a software that can do this for a long time, but without any success: ( I love trains but I can-t find a program that can create my own train maps, and that sucks. Appreciate the response Thibault, stay safe! -

THANK YOU so much for uploading this and for your positive and honest comments on the train and the trip. You're most welcome to come back here! PS: the reason for western Patagonia to be greener and leafier than most of the rest of the region lies in the fact that the rain loaded clouds coming from the Pacific Ocean discharge all their water on the west side of the Andes (i. e. in Chile) leaving a lesser amount to the east of the mountain range. Luckily enough, we get something!

Argentinian here (although living in France for a while. The engine of your train was made in Argentina under a GM licence, the rolling stock is Japanese (Hitachi, made in Japan the 1960s, previously used in the Buenos Aires commuter rail network. Sleeping cars and the autotrain were discontinued during the pandemic and they took advantage of the situation to refurbish/repair them - gossip is both should be back by the end of 2022. Thanks for this great video!

Great video -. 25 Euros for 19hrs in Pullman class - is there a better deal anywhere? Evening across North Patagonia reminded me of coach across Northern Territories in Australia--miles upon miles of desert with a tiny curve on the horizon --. When you get there dead straight road to the next horizon! Retro buffet and dodgy ride quality reminded me of having high tea on the train from Southampton to London in the 70s-. without the steak and without the views! -

Until the 1990s there were services from Buenos Aires (Estacion Constitucion) to Bariloche. And so many passenger services to the main cities in Argentina that were lost due to bad transport policy. Little by little they are returning but there is a lot of work to modernize the railroads that have exceeded their useful life so that the average speed returns to the 80-100 km/h of the past. Regards!

In Argentine Patagonia, each Province has to attend its own trains; National goverment doesn't apply at all; and. thanks to a former Ministry, Mr. Meoni, Argentina will do nothing for railroads and railways in Patagonia, four Provinces that have given gas, oil, wool, fish, electricity, woods and minerals in excesive amounts!
Until when will Patagonia hold this type of relation?

Another trip you should do Is Buenos Aires-Mar del Plata, its a very nice trip to a very beautiful city, and the trains on that trip go pretty fast tbh, Around 120km/h wich means 5: 30 hours, wich Is pretty good considering that going in car you travel the same amount of Time, saludos from buenos aires!

While I've been to Patagonia twice, I have not been fortunate to take this train yet.
I did take an overnight train between Buenos Aires and Mendoza in 1990. It's an absolute unforgivable tragedy that they abandoned one of the most comprehensive rail systems in the world back in 1993.

They are working on restoring the tracks between Viedma and Bahia Blanca so it will be connected with the rest of the network and Buenos Aires. Is a short distance so hopefully we'll see this happening in 1-2 years.

Es una odisea hacer viajes largos en tren en Argentina, se usan vagones mal restaurados y con un servicio de a bordo casi inexistente. Ademas del tiempo que se tarda en recorrer ese tramo, un verdadero desproposito.

It's not completely isolated, there's a bridge linking with the nearby Buenos Aires province. There is no direct service across the bridge, however trains may run over it

Yes, I was wondering about the train service from BA to Bariloche! Gone! But this is an interesting segment of the journey! Some years ago I visited Bariloche from Chile!

This is the first train video I've seen that doesn't look over-fancy. It looks like the trains I took as a kid - just really normal and no-fuss.

Impressive. A wonderful journey. But I have a query. While entering the Andes, did the train not require bankers? Or is the gradient manageable?

16: 02 not the Andes, but the Patagonides, an older chain. Andes starts with the lake.
