Mitre Line Sets March 8 Return to Retiro After Week of Limited Service

Dynamic signalling tests plus staff training complete a technology migration at Empalme Maldonado.

Overview

  • From March 1, trains toward Tigre run only between Belgrano C and Tigre as access to Retiro stays closed for final checks.
  • José León Suárez and Bartolomé Mitre branches continue to terminate at Belgrano R under the provisional operating plan.
  • Trenes Argentinos reports 88% completion and requires dynamic runs with empty trains before authorizing normal operations.
  • The emergency program renews 29 km of track and upgrades stations, bridges and level crossings with new signalling cabling, with projected travel‑time cuts of up to 17 minutes by late 2026.
  • Passengers face longer and costlier journeys using buses or Line D of the subway, while the Rosario Norte service ends at Colegiales and trains to Córdoba and Tucumán remain suspended.
