Belgrano Cargas y Logística S.A. (trading name: Trenes Argentinos Cargas) is an Argentine State-owned company which operates a 15,305 km (9,510 mi) freight rail network that includes Belgrano, Urquiza and San Martín railways. It is a subsidiary of the Ferrocarriles Argentinos holding company.
The company is formed by three shareholders, Operadora Ferroviaria Sociedad del Estado and the Administración General de Puertos (General Ports Administration).
It is often erroneously called Belgrano Cargas by the Argentine government and press, despite the freight network encompassing numerous other Argentine railways, of which the General Belgrano Railway is only one.
The network extends through the provinces of Buenos Aires, Santa Fe, Córdoba, Mendoza, Santiago del Estero, San Juan, La Rioja, Catamarca, Tucumán, Chaco, Formosa, Salta and Jujuy. The line also reaches all the Argentina's neighbouring countries, such as Bolivia, Uruguay, Brazil, Chile and Paraguay.
