BACK TO CC 7 (videos)

Here are some videos of the rehabilitation of 7 or Branch CC Track Garita "showing a train of employment which involves movement back to life in this short branch that allows to enter the narrow gauge Mitre Cordoba station. All images are the passed March 15, 2011.

In the first video you can see the train while ballast, backing onto the ramp towards the station Mitre Cordoba, first through the Apeadero Street Bedoya (where Ferromel installed the worker), then flowing through the passage Avellaneda street level and finally near the mile 2 branch, where the bridge over the street Lavalleja. So much for this train, and after leaving much of his weight began to return.

The following pictures were taken a few meters from Calle Apeadero Bedoya. Here you can see the train and back, first across the bridge on Palestine Street (the building of the viaduct just over 20 years, is not original branch), then follow to Junction Road checkpoint.

Around 0.7 km of ballast bed is almost list, despite which the train runs with caution. In the following video you can see the train just going through this sector:

Finally the train remained on the street level crossing Jeronimo Cortez and G22CU # 7703 it returned to tensile Alta Cordoba.

The following video you will see how the engine moves toward the junction of the branches CC7 and A1 (a place known as "Joint Garita Way"), and returns to Alta Cordoba and inland of the branch A 1 in this sector has its trace parallel to the CC.

And so far this series of videos. Once the rehabilitation of the road or branch Garita CC7 Train services in the Sierras (now absorbed the Ferrourbano) may reach the station Mitre Cordoba, much more central place in the city where Ferrocentral comes with gauge services Retirement and wide from Villa Maria, where there is the bus terminus expansion currently under construction.

If services are plotted properly, no doubt to be a success, it is remarkable how the Train of the Sierras is increasingly used not only as a tourist service, but as public transport service. People going up and down between stations and halts the train is no longer used for walking on it but to travel daily. The Cordoba slowly began to see the train with other eyes, not as something "quaint" but precisely as a public service. So I think that with the implementation of works and the right services, success is assured.
