Corredores Ferroviarios was an Argentine private company that operated the Mitre and San Martín railway services in Buenos Aires Province for about one year until the Government of Argentina rescinded the agreement with the company in March 2015. Since then, the Mitre and San Martín line are operated by State-owned company Operadora Ferroviaria Sociedad del Estado (SOFSE).
The company also ran long-distance services to the city of Rosario in Santa Fe Province, with a travel time of about 9 hours and 30 minutes.
On May 24, 2012, the contract with TBA to operate the Mitre and Sarmiento lines was revoked by the Government of Argentina after the Once station rail disaster. As a result, UGOMS took over the Mitre Line until it was granted in concession. The San Martín Line was granted to UGOFE, a consortium formed by railway companies Ferrovías, Metrovías and TBA, although TBA would be excluded from it a few days later.
On February 12, 2014, the Government of Argentina announced that some companies would take over the lines operated by UGOFE, that was officially dissolved.
Emepa Group also owned Ferrocentral, a railway company formed with Nuevo Central Argentino to run passenger services to Rosario, Tucumán and Córdoba cities of Argentina. The company was dissolved in November 2014, when the National Government took over the services, since then operated by SOFSE.
