The communications system belongs to our Argentina, without doubt, and its impact on the development of the regions, the National history. The railway, the main medium of exchange, took in the laying of rails credit for installing the network that made possible advances in civilization, culture and the settlement of the sovereignty claimed that the country's ability to put a match the times. In 1854 the contract was signed for the installation of the first railway line in Argentina. The agreement was signed by then-Governor Forced Shepherd and the Society of Rail-Road to the west. On August 29 1859 begins to roll the first steam locomotive in Argentina. It is "The Porteña," currently on exhibit at the National Museum Complex "Enrique Udaondo" of Lujan. The tour of the front line was 4 miles, starting from the center of the city of Buenos Aires and then came to the town of San Jose de Flores. The branches were to appear and grow. A San Antonio de Areco reaches the railroad in 1878. With the assistance of municipal authorities, representatives of the company and neighbors, were inaugurated the work of building the station, on land that was owned by Mrs. Eulacia Martinez of Nilla. The station was part of the ramp that linked Lujan with parchment. To get up the train service, a few years ago, the station was abandoned. The splendid building was restored and she worked at a middle school that was already closed. Today the station is in ruins poor again ... This splendid locomotive is at the mercy of people who do not know their beautiful history, of all its service. Yesterday was a national monument ... Today is a scrap. Sad! Thank you very much for your feedback. Roby

Le système de communications appartient à nos Argentine, sans doute, et son impact sur le développement des régions, le Conseil national de l'histoire. Le chemin de fer, le principal moyen d'échange, a pris dans la pose de rails de crédit pour l'installation du réseau qui a rendu possible les progrès de la civilité, de la culture et le règlement de la souveraineté a fait valoir que la capacité du pays à mettre un match la fois. En 1854, le contrat a été signé pour l'installation de la première ligne de chemin de fer en Argentine. L'accord a été signé par le gouverneur d'alors forcé Pasteur et la Société des rail-route à l'ouest. Le 29 août 1859 commence à rouler la première locomotive à vapeur en Argentine. Il est "Le Porteña", actuellement en exposition au Musée national Complex "Enrique Udaondo" de Lujan. La visite de la ligne de front a été de 4 milles, à partir de la centrale de la ville de Buenos Aires et puis est arrivé à la ville de San José de Flores. Les branches ont été à apparaître et se développer. A San Antonio de Areco atteint le chemin de fer en 1878. Avec l'aide des autorités municipales, des représentants de la société et voisins, ont été inaugurés les travaux de construction de la station, sur des terrains qui étaient la propriété de Mme Martinez Eulacia de Nilla. La station a été une partie de la bretelle qui relie Lujan de parchemin. Pour obtenir le service de train, il ya quelques années, la station a été abandonnée. Le magnifique édifice a été restauré et elle a travaillé dans un milieu scolaire qui a déjà été fermés. Aujourd'hui, la station est en ruines pauvres encore ... Cette magnifique locomotive est à la merci de personnes qui ne connaissent pas leur belle histoire, de tous ses services. Hier a été un monument national ... Aujourd'hui est un débris. Triste! Merci beaucoup pour vos commentaires. Roby

A great illustration of inventing mankind that era, a wonderful monument, rusty as it is! RS

What an interesting shot. You are correct that there are people who do not respect history.

FANTASTIC WORK.... WELL DONE.. ROBY

Excellent capture my friend.

Wonderful history. So like our own country. Horses could only take us across the continent so fast and sometimes the dangers were to great. The transcontinental railway was an opening of this country to families and investors. In turn, our wealth and communities deepened. Stunning history and great shot.

Cool engine, to bad people have to mark up things, excellent capture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sad to see the vandilism on such a relic ... Great shot Roby.

wow thats an old train .. excellent shot .. great history

Roby este está realmente uno de sus mejores trabajos alguna vez mi amigo. Amo su tributo a los grandes trenes que nos suministraron para tan mucho tiempo. Gracias por la historia detallada en los trenes

Very nice capture!

Excellent Roby!

una bella captura

Roby...first, an excellent photo. Second, it sounds like those interested in railroad history need to organize an effort to restore and protect this important relic. Bill

Nice 0-6-2T. Not a common find.

Captura fantastica mi amigo :)

The salesman has no use for history. His day begins and ends with a need for new money.

Really impressive!!!

Fine shot of a rusty, dilapidated, graffiti-strewn throwback to the Iron Age, Roby!

Very cool image!

Thankfully Roby, your eye sees the beauty and value in things invisible to others! Beautiful!

Excellent!

So unfortunate that others can be so disrespectful, I think it is very sad that some out there do not appreciate and cherish and maintain the history around them. Thanks Roby for sharing this.

I will never understand the need to post grafitti....this would be so lovely in its own rusty decay without the visual commentary! Wonderful capture, Roby!

Fantastic capture.
