Trenes Argentinos railway safety and modernization
Overview
Under a national railway emergency, Trenes Argentinos is implementing various safety and modernization measures across the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA).
Initial efforts focused on technological upgrades, such as a pilot program on the Sarmiento Line. This program utilizes an integrated monitoring and telemetry system to provide 24-hour supervision of level crossings, tracking real-time data like barrier positions and electrical supply to reduce response times to technical failures.
Parallel maintenance and fleet modernization efforts include the acquisition of critical components, such as 338 new wheels for the Mitre, Sarmiento, Roca, San Martín, and Belgrano Sur lines. The broader plan, supervised by the Secretariat of Transport and the Ministry of Economy, involves acquiring 43 new formations (approximately 150 coaches) and diesel-electric locomotives to modernize aging rolling stock.
