International Railroad Discussion > What's this in Buenos Aires?Date: 11/06/18 00:32 What's this in Buenos Aires? Author: Tominde I saw this train outside the station in Buenos Aires. Monday 5 Nov seemed to be some type of "official" function. There appeeard to be a number of people gathered. I saw the train make several moves foward and back abot 4-5 train lengths. There were about 8 "coaches" in the train.
Pictures taken Sunday next to museum, but I was stopped very politely by an "official" who told me no photos, but invited me to return Monday. I was unable to Monday but could see it from my hotel room. Date: 11/06/18 01:36 Re: What's this in Buenos Aires?
