Ferrocarriles Argentinos Sociedad del Estado is a State-owned railway company of Argentina created for the operation and maintenance of the Argentine railway network in the country, including passenger and freight services. The company shares its name with the previous national operator which was broken up during the privatisation process, and also uses a modified version of its original logo.
From the creation of FA, state-owned companies managed by the company are Operadora Ferroviaria Sociedad del Estado, Belgrano Cargas y Logística (passenger and freight services respectively) and ADIFSE (infrastructure).
The project to nationalise all the Argentine railway network had been announced by President Cristina Kirchner during her speech at the Congress of Argentina's 133°-year inaugural session on 1 March 2015.
At the time the project was sent to the Congress to be discussed, only Belgrano Norte and Urquiza lines (operated by Ferrovías and Metrovías respectively) were under private concessions for passenger services, while Nuevo Central Argentino (NCA), Ferroexpreso Pampeano and Ferrosur companies operated freight trains.
