Tren del Valle

In a future stage, the line could be extended west to Senillosa and east to General Roca.

[5] The Tren del Valle is named after "Alto valle del Río Negro", a valley located at the north west of Río Negro Province, crossing cities of General Roca, Cipolletti, Villa Regina, Cinco Saltos, among others.

[6] The region is about 52,000 m2 (560,000 sq ft) in size, and is also notable for its production of apples as well as its vast Vaca Muerta oil field, whose freight lines will share some tracks with the Tren del Valle.

[12] Rolling stock used will be provided by local company Materfer, that was committed to build 20 CMM 400-2 railcars to run on the line.

[16] Other projects plan to extend the service to the end of the valley, reaching cities such as Senillosa and Chichinales.
