The project to nationalise all the
Argentine railway network had been announced by President
Cristina Fernández de Kirchner during her speech at the
Congress of Argentina's 133rd-year inaugural session on 1 March 2015. At the time the project was sent to the Congress to be discussed, only
Belgrano Norte and
Urquiza lines (operated by
Ferrovías and
Metrovías respectively) were under private concessions for passenger services, while
Nuevo Central Argentino (NCA),
Ferroexpreso Pampeano and
Ferrosur companies operated freight trains. Therefore, the Government of Argentina will take over the operation and maintenance of all the railway lines after they
had granted to private companies during
Carlos Menem's administration in the early 1990s. The re-nationalisation law was officially promulgated on May 20, 2015. on March 8, 2021, "Ferrocarriles Argentinos S.E." was relaunched, setting its new offices at
Constitución railway station. FASE had been inactive during the government of
Mauricio Macri, when its divisions operated independently. The relaunch included a new logo, inspired on the homonymous company dissolved in 1993. == Organizational structure ==
