Ferrocarril Córdoba Central
- Ferrocarril Córdoba Central
Ferrocarriles Córdoba Central S.A. is a company in Argentina which operates a 150 km RailGauge|1000|al=on|lk=on metre gauge railway line between Rodriguez del Busto station in the centre of the city of Córdoba and Capilla del Monte. The line was built by the state-owned Ferrocarril Central Norte, which became part of Ferrocarril General Manuel Belgrano after railway nationisation in 1948. The service is known as "Tren de las Sierras" (in English: Train of the Hills) and is popular with tourists because of its scenic route through the "Sierras Chicas" region of Córdoba Province.
As part of a national railway privatisation plan, carried out under the presidency of Carlos Menem, a concession to operate the line was granted to the government of Córdoba Province in 1992 and was later transferred to F.C. Córdoba Central.
