Sources: 3. Developments: 2. Regional leaders and officials in the Argentine provinces of Jujuy and Salta are coordinating efforts to ensure the C14 and C15 railway branches are included in upcoming national privatization tenders. Initially, leaders from Jujuy and Salta demanded that the national government make these lines mandatory components of the Belgrano Cargas bidding process, arguing they are essential for the connectivity and productivity of the Norte Grande region, specifically for the mining, livestock, and agricultural sectors. Following these demands, Jujuy Governor Carlos Sadir met with engineering organizations to discuss the recovery and maintenance of these branches. Engineers warned that current tender specifications omit key sections connecting Jujuy and Salta, which could leave future concessionaires without a contractual obligation to maintain the tracks. To address this, a 30-day deadline has been set to submit a technical proposal to the national government, with the goal of strengthening regional logistics and supporting the Bioceanic Corridor. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-26: Jujuy Governor seeks inclusion of railway branches in Belgrano Cargas tender Jujuy Governor Carlos Sadir is pushing to include the C14 and C15 railway branches in the Belgrano Cargas tender to support regional mining and agriculture. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/jujuy-governor-seeks-inclusion-of-railway-branches-in-belgrano-cargas-tender ### 2026-10-15: Jujuy and Salta leaders demand mandatory northern railway inclusion Regional leaders in Jujuy and Salta demand mandatory inclusion of northern railway branches in privatization plans, while the province hosts a national education fair and addresses legislative reforms. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/metropolitan-governance-specialists-meet-in-argentina --- Cite as: Argentine regional railway privatization demands.
