Mitre Line’s Tigre Branch to Shut Jan. 10–Feb. 28, With Suárez and Mitre Services Turned at Belgrano R

Officials say the summer window allows a full power cut for signal testing, enabling work that cannot be done at night.

A partir del 10 de enero y hasta el 28 de febrero, el ramal Tigre del tren Mitre no funcionará por tareas de mantenimiento
El ministro de Transporte de la Nación, Diego Giuliano, inauguró hoy formalmente el ingreso de trenes de la línea Mitre a la estación Retiro, luego de las obras de mejora impulsadas por el Gobierno nacional que beneficiarán a más de 200.000 pasajeros diarios. TELAM 23-06-23
Trenes Argentinos informó cambios de horarios en la Línea San Martín todos los días.
Un ramal del tren Mitre no funcionará durante 50 días y otros dos lo harán de forma reducida.

Overview

  • Trenes Argentinos announced a 50‑day suspension of the Tigre branch for safety and modernization works under the national Railway Emergency.
  • During the closure, José León Suárez and Bartolomé Mitre services will not reach Retiro and will operate only between their cab endpoints and Belgrano R.
  • The program includes renewing 7,700 meters of track in hard‑to‑access sectors, interventions on the Figueroa Alcorta and Dorrego bridges, third‑rail upgrades, and commissioning of a new signaling system.
  • Signal works at the Retiro approach involve installing 28 signals with ATS balises, 16 point machines, and 70 track‑circuit boxes, with dynamic testing requiring a total power cut.
  • Authorities cite rails and sleepers over 40 years old and more than 40 slow‑order segments; about 20 km of new track have already been installed toward a plan totaling 40 km of track and 47 km of third rail, with travel alternatives to be posted on official channels.
