Overview

  • Trenes Argentinos, which confirmed the plan Friday, said electric trains will not run between Once and Liniers through Sunday.
  • The company said crews must cut power on the main tracks to replace two Caballito turnout machines known as ADV 10 and 11.
  • At the Irigoyen site in Villa Luro, teams are sliding two 170-ton concrete bridge slabs into place with hydraulic jacks to clear the way for a road and pedestrian tunnel.
  • Diesel services keep their usual schedules, and AUSA has opened a two-way temporary crossing on Ruiz de los Llanos to keep people moving.
  • AUSA is also pushing ahead this weekend with the García Lorca underpass in Caballito as part of a program to remove level crossings and boost rail safety and frequency.
