Ferrocarriles Argentinos is the national railway system of Argentina, established in the late 19th century. It played a crucial role in the country's economic development by connecting major cities and facilitating the transport of goods and passengers across vast distances. The railway network was nationalized in 1948, leading to the creation of Ferrocarriles Argentinos as a state-owned enterprise. Over the years, the system has faced challenges, including financial difficulties and competition from road transport. Today, efforts are being made to revitalize the network and improve services for commuters and freight transport.
