It operated long-distance passenger trains from its base at Retiro station in Buenos Aires to several locations in northern Argentina, running on Ferrocarril Mitre’s 5\u00a0ft\u00a06\u00a0in (1,676\u00a0mm) Indian gauge tracks.

Breakfast served in the train.  All of the train routes managed by Ferrocentral had been previously operated by Ferrocarriles Argentinos, the country’s now-defunct national passenger railroad corporation. After the privatisation of Ferrocarriles Argentinos starting in 1991, many train services across Argentina were indefinitely discontinued. Since the year 2005, however, Ferrocentral was formed and successfully resurrected some passenger lines.Ferrocentral was established in 2005, being formed by two railway companies, Nuevo Central Argentino (concessionary of Ferrocarril Mitre’s freight services) and Ferrov\u00edas (which operates the Belgrano Norte Line) with the purpose of running trains from Retiro station in Buenos Aires to the city of C\u00f3rdoba.[4][5][6]In 2006 Ferrocentral started to run trains to Tucum\u00e1n, with stops in Rosario and La Banda, a city of Santiago del Estero Province.[7] Long-distance passenger trains were tractioned by GT22 diesel locomotives.[8] Most services operated in the late night and early morning hours as the rail lines are used for transporting cargo during the daytime.One year later the company also re-opened the Tren de las Sierras (“Mountain Range Train”) of C\u00f3rdoba Province that connected the cities of C\u00f3rdoba and Cosqu\u00edn.On 2013, Ministry of Transport of Argentina, Florencio Randazzo, signed a resolution transferring the services to C\u00f3rdoba and San Miguel de Tucum\u00e1n to State-owned companies SOFSE (also known as “Trenes Argentinos”) and Administraci\u00f3n de Infraestructuras Ferroviarias (ADIF).[9][10]In addition, some problems with ticket sales were reported by users, accusing the company to give a poor service for online purchasing, as well as the virtually nil availability of seats.[11]In November 2014, the Government of Argentina (through the State-owned company Trenes Argentinos S.A.) took over the services to Rosario, Tucum\u00e1n and C\u00f3rdoba, leaving Ferrocentral inactive.[12][13][14]Services[edit]Services operated as of October 2014:[15]See also[edit]References[edit]^ “Tren de las Sierras” on C\u00f3rdoba Turismo website^ “Inauguracion Tren de las Sierras” on Plataforma 14^ “Ma\u00f1ana regresa el Tren de las Sierras”, La Voz del Interior, 11 Aug 2007^ “Reinauguraron el tren Retiro-C\u00f3rdoba” Clar\u00edn, 18 Mar 2005^ ““Volvi\u00f3 el tren a C\u00f3rdoba… de la mano de Ferrocentral”, sitio web Todo Tren”.
