The Iberian gauge (1,676mm) Mitre General Railway and the meter gauge (1,000mm) Belgrano Railway run between Rosario, the third most populous city in Argentina, and San Miguel de Tucuman, the fifth most populous city. This page focuses on the Mitre General Railway.
San Miguel de Tucuman is a large city in the northern part of Argentina and the capital of the province of Tucuman, with a population of over 800,000 people. It is a financial center in the northern region of Argentina, and is also famous as the city where Marco, the main character in "Three Thousand Leagues to Visit My Mother," meets his mother for the last time. Trains to Buenos Aires Retiro depart from Tucuman Mitre Station.
Immediately west of Tucuman Mitre Station are the rail tracks of the Belgrano General Railway. This station once had a meter gauge connecting line to the Belgrano General Railway, but it appears that the meter gauge track has now been removed. Mitre General Railway operates long-distance trains from Tucuman to Buenos Aires via Rosario and back twice a week.
La Banda Station is the gateway to the region's city, Santiago del Estero. Regional trains run twice a day on the 40km stretch from La Banda Station to Fernández Station, and the train travels between La Banda Station and Fernández Station in about an hour. Only regional trains stop at Beltrán, Forres, and Fernández stations, while long-distance trains from Buenos Aires Station pass through.
In addition, from La Banda Station there is a meter gauge elevated urban railway (non-electrified) in Santiago del Estero called "Tren al Desarrollo", which operates at a maximum speed of 20km/h.
In the town of Pinto, there are many buildings built in early 20th century influenced by Italian architecture. Agriculture and livestock farming are active in this area, with crops such as cotton, corn, and soybeans being grown. The town of Ceres is famous for its pumpkin production.
