Buenos Aires Train

Trenes de Buenos Aires (TBA) In English: Trains of Buenos Aires, was a privately owned company which, on May 27, 1995, took over the concession, granted by the Argentine government as part of railway privatisation during the presidency of Carlos Menem, for the operation of commuter rail services in Buenos Aires, Argentina over the 5 ft 6 in broad gauge Sarmiento Line and Mitre Line. Following a commuter train accident on February 22, 2012, at Once Station, Buenos Aires, in which 51 people died and at least 703 people were injured, TBA was placed under federal intervention on February 28; its concessions to operate the Mitre and Sarmiento lines were ultimately revoked on May 24. Both lines are currently operated by the consortium UGOMS.
