The Santa Fe Urban Train (in Spanish: "Tren Urbano de Santa Fe") is a project to run a commuter rail serving the metropolitan area of Santa Fe city in Argentina. It has 8 stops, extending from Molino Franchino to cultural centre "Esquina Encendida"〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=La Esquina Encendida )〕 running on the Belgrano Railway ''Ramal F'' tracks at a speed of .〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=El futuro tren urbano realizará su recorrido en sólo 10 minutos )〕 The Tren Urbano complements other forms of public transportation on the city such as buses and cycling. Rolling stock are microbuses by local manufacturer TecnoTren and already used in the University train of La Plata. == History == The first project of an urban railway had been featured in 2010, with two routes suggested, the first connecting Guadalupe station with the port of Santa Fe and the second joining both stations, Belgrano and Mitre railways. The project also planned an estimated journey time of 30 minutes and a frequency of one service per hour. The train only would run during the day because tracks were used by freight services (currently operated by Trenes Argentinos Cargas y Logística) by night. Due to the Government of Argentina did not approve the original project, the provincial government had to change it to a shorter path running on tracks not used by freight concessionaires. That was the main condition required by the Nation to allow passenger trains running in the city.〔 Therefore the route was set from former Molino Franchino (a former flour mill, currently an exhibition centre named "El Molino Fábrica Cultural")〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Molino Franchino )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=El Molino Fábrica Cultural )〕 in the corner of Pedro Vittori and Boulevard Gálvez, where a bus stop already existed, remodeling it to make connections with train and cycling transport. Initial costs of the works were estimated at A$ 8 million. Departing from Molino Franchino, the train will run to the north, crossing Parque Federal, Puente Negro and finishing in ''Esquina Encendida'', on E. Zeballos and Zuviría streets.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Tren Urbano: este lunes comienzan las obras de recuperación de las vías )〕 Works also include the construction of the intermediate stops, segregated cycle facilities along the way, the installation of traffic lights in all the level crossings.〔 and the reconditioning of the existing tracks. The total costs of the works increased to over A$25 million.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Siguen las obras en las vías )〕 By July 2015, all the electronic warning devives had been installed in the 22 level crossings of the line. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Santa Fe Urban Train」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
