the present time [1998] a cooperative of workers has been created that
are contracted to repairs of locomotives of different companies. The picture was taken in Villa Constitución, also near Rosario. Note fresh and shiny paint job. Marcelo López photo |

The first is on the four track approach to Buenos Aires' Retiro
terminal, the automatic semaphores are a product of the British Power
Railway Signal Co and date back to the 1920s. Nick Slocombe photo |

is of the train approaching Colegiales, about 6kms from Retiro. Nick Slocombe photo |
