Retiro Station (San Martín Railway) (Estación Retiro (Ferrocarril San Martín) in Spanish) is a railway terminus located in the district of Retiro of the city of Buenos Aires. The station is located just opposite Plaza San Martín, a large public square. It is part of the Retiro station complex.
Retiro San Martín is the terminus for the San Martín Railway, and lies between Retiro Belgrano station and Retiro bus station (Terminal de Omnibus), the principal long-distance bus terminal in Buenos Aires.
Retiro San Martín is accessible by the C line of the Buenos Aires Metro system and by numerous local public bus services. The station will also be accessible by both Line E and Line H of the metro once their extensions are complete.
The station was inaugurated in 1912 by the Buenos Aires and Pacific Railway (BAP), as part of the extension of the service from Palermo through the city with brick bridges. The building built then and currently stands, consisted of a pre-assembled structure of iron, wood and metal that should work provisionally until the construction of a masonry building of monumental appearance, similar to other station buildings in the area. However, this building was never built.
The station is the terminus of commuter and suburban trains to Dr. Domingo Cabred (in Luján Partido), and Alberdi (in Leandro N. Alem Partido); both in the north-western area of Buenos Aires Province. The line to Alberdi, via Junín, is operated by Ferrobaires.
