Nuevo Central Argentino S. A. (usually NCA) is an Argentine company that exploits the operation and infrastructure of the national railway system of the former Mitre Railway division of Ferrocarriles Argentinos, by a concession granted on 23 December 1992 as part of railway privatisation carried out during the presidency of Carlos Menem.
NCA operates about 5,000 km of 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) cargo railroad lines in the provinces of Buenos Aires, Santa Fe, Córdoba, Santiago del Estero and Tucumán. Its headquarters are located in Rosario (province of Santa Fe); its warehouses are located in Rosario, in nearby Villa Gobernador Gálvez, and in Villa María (province of Córdoba). There are also operational centers in Colombres and Córdoba City, and transfer (truck changing?) centers in the city of Tucumán and in Retiro, Buenos Aires.
NCA, which is owned by Aceitera General Deheza S.A., carried 7,408,914 tonnes of freight in 2014.
By the beginning of the 1990s, the economic situation of State-owned Ferrocarriles Argentinos became critic. Through National Decree N° 520/91 the Government of Argentina created residual company FEMESA to run the urban passenger services in Buenos Aires. Ferrocarriles Argentinos continued operating the freight and passenger interurban services.
