Train To Mendoza?

[sergio]

You may not have seen any trains, GS, but they nevertheless run to Cordoba, Tucuman, Mar del Plata, La Plata, Tandil, Junin and a lot of other places. Ride your mororcycle to Retiro, Constitucion stations to inquire. In summer the number of people travelling to the coast is amazing -- huge trains packed with people.

it was under the washington consensus government that the train almost dissappeared, not only here but in all Latin America, and the big favoured was the automotive american industry. Curious, now I write this, I realise american identity has a thing with the car, while europe is connected by train. This country up to the dictatorship and menemismo, used to have Europe as a mirror and (unlike the rest of Latin America) this lately have changed to the US.
The enormous railways this country used to have were built by the english and nationalizated violently by Peron.

For me BA is starting to look more like North America than Europe...
Yellow traffic lights, pickup trucks, grid layout of city, dependence on the car, super wide roads with small sidewalk, tall buildings blocking out light...
