Sarratea railway station

Sarratea railway station is a former train station located in the north of the city of Rosario, in the province of Santa Fe, Argentina.

The station was opened in the 1890s by the Buenos Aires and Rosario Railway, a company that was later absorbed by the Ferrocarril Central Argentino in 1908. The railway ran north from the Patio Parada node and proceeded towards the city of Santa Fe, capital of the province.

After the railway was nationalised in 1948, the station was managed by the Ferrocarril General Bartolomé Mitre company. In 1977 it was shut down, as almost all passenger services were eliminated.
