[2][1] The railway line was strategically designed to join some of the city's industries such as the "Carlota" sawmill,[3] the "Manolo Ocampo" sugar mill (later "Ingenio Arno")[4] and the "Don Emilio" distillery,[5] all around Villa Ocampo,[1] to Puerto Ocampo, on an arm of the Paraná River called "Paraná Miní".

At first it was 25 km long from Villa Adela to Puerto San Vicente.

Later, in 1910, it was transferred to the British-owned company La Forestal, which extended it to Villa Ana (the place where its tannin factory was located) to the west and to Puerto Ocampo, to the east.

In this way it reached the Paraná River, covering several kilometers between islands and the flood valley with three large bridges, 27 minor ones and several culverts.

In its maximum extension, under the name of "FC La Forestal", it reached the station km 366 of the Branch F of the General Belgrano Railway, where today the town of Los Tábanos is located.
