🚂 El Ferrocarril Olvidado que Unía La Rioja y Catamarca

🚂 The Railway that Connected La Rioja and Catamarca | The History of Branch Lines A4 and A5 In this episode of On Argentine Rails, we explore one of the most amazing railway routes in northern Argentina: the historic Branch Lines A4 and A5 of the Belgrano Railway, a line that connected the provinces of La Rioja and Catamarca, traversing towns, valleys, and unique landscapes. Our journey begins in Cebollar, in the province of La Rioja, passing through old stations such as Mazán, Aimogasta, Cerro Negro, Copacabana, and Tinogasta, before continuing through Catamarca to Pomán, Siján, Saujil, Mollecito, and Andalgalá. Along the way, we discover railway stations, stops, bridges, old facilities, and the history of a railway that was key to the growth of communities, passenger transport, and the economic activity of the entire region. Today, many of these traces remain as a testament to a time when the train was a vital connection between remote towns and a tool for development in the Argentine interior. 📍 In this episode, we travel through: • Belgrano Railway Branch A4 • Belgrano Railway Branch A5 • Cebollar • Mazán • Aimogasta • Cerro Negro • Copacabana • Tinogasta • Pomán • Siján • Saujil • Mollecito • Andalgalá 🎬 "On Argentine Rails" is an independent documentary project that travels across Argentina to record the history, heritage, and human stories behind our railways.
