The line connects directly to the Mitre line at Maipú station for direct access to Retiro terminus in the Buenos Aires downtown. Tren de la Costa is served by nine two-car trains sets. Each train has a capacity of 200 passengers and travels at an average speed of 35 km/h. The journey time is 30 minutes, with a frequency of 30 minutes. History{{Tren de la Costa line}}The line was developed during the period between 1891 and 1896 as part of the Buenos Aires and Rosario Railway (BA&R) connecting Coghlan junction in the Buenos Aires neighbourhood of Belgrano with the port of Tigre and was known as the Tren del Bajo. Tracks ran following the course of the river, serving as an alternative route to Tigre, which was already served by the Buenos Aires Northern Railway. The line was later absorbed by the Central Argentine Railway when this company took over the (BA&R) in 1908. The line was electrified in 1931 and after nationalisation in 1948, it became part of General Mitre Railway. In 1961 the Government of Argentina led by President Arturo Frondizi closed the B. Mitre-Delta branch due to the low number of passengers carried and high maintenance costs.[2] In 1990 plans were formulated for the reopening of the line and with the railways being privatised in 1992, the Tren de la Costa company (part of Sociedad Comercial del Plata, controlled by local businessman Santiago Soldati) was formed to take over the concession for the service. The track was converted from {{RailGauge|5ft6in}} broad gauge to {{RailGauge|sg|al=on}}, and re-electrified in 1994. Public services and related commercial operations began in April 1995, and the maiden ride was shared by Soldati, company and government officials, and President Carlos Menem. The company remodelled the eight stations of the branch and built three new stations, most of them with the concept of shopping mall centres, with San Isidro being the most representative of this. A new terminus, named "Maipú" was built just in front of former Bartolomé Mitre terminus. Both stations were connected through a pedestrian bridge over Maipú Avenue. Unlike the Retiro-B. Mitre branch, the new Maipú-Delta service was a light rail system, using articulated cars acquired from Spanish company Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles (CAF). During the first years of service, the branch carried an average of 100,000 passengers (on weekends) due to it having been conceived as a tourist train, with Maipú, Libertador and San Isidro as its main commercial centres. Beside the Delta terminus, a new amusement park, Parque de la Costa was built, proclaiming to be "the largest in South America". Two years later, the "Trillenium Casino" opened beside the park and Delta station. These projects, as well as the shopping malls, were designed to be part of the "de la Costa" franchise. As years went by, a decrease of the number of passenger carried by the company occurred, affecting not only the train services but the amusement park as well. The SCP asked the National Government for a grant to continue operating the trains but the request was denied since the concession contract did not include the possibility of granting subsidies given that the Tren de la Costa was categorised as tourist train, rather than one for public passenger transport. The line saw a large drop in passenger numbers since its opening in 1995. Around 100,000 journeys were made each weekend initially; but, by 2005 there were just 150,000 a month, a third of which were foreign tourists.[3] The coinciding economic upturn did not reverse this trend, and ridership declined to around 70,000 a month by 2010.[4] After a progressive decrease of the number of passengers carried and the closure of most of shops along the line,[5][5][6][7] The Government of Argentina revoked the concession to SCP,[8] taking over the Tren de la Costa through its subsidiary SOFSE.[9][10] The rescision was published on the Argentine Official Bulletin on 3 Jun 2013.[11] ConceptThe line and its stations were conceived to offer various forms of entertainment and enjoyment for both adults and children, being used by both tourists and commuters. Each station,[14] seven of which are original stations refurbished, has history and art displays, and substantial shopping areas were built at Maipú, Libertador and San Isidro. Borges Station, by the Olivos marina, was planned as 'the station of the arts' with an art café with open-air sculptures. Located nearby is the Juan Carlos Altavista Cinema (former "Cine York"), one of the oldest still operating in the world. Anchorena station was nicknamed The Tango station due to its cultural centre, and Barrancas station hosts an antiques fair. The route between Libertador and San Isidro was adapted for use by walkers, joggers and cyclists. Delta station serves the Parque de la Costa, an amusement park, as well as Tigre's other important tourist attractions including the Trillenium Casino, a crafts fair, riverside restaurants and boat trips.
