Argentine North Eastern Railway

The Argentine North Eastern Railway, known in Spanish as Ferrocarril Nordeste Argentino, was a British-owned railway company founded in 1887 that built and ran a standard gauge network across the Argentine provinces of Entre Rios, Corrientes and Misiones. It was formed to take over and complete two lines starting at Monte Caseros, one running to the provincial capital Corrientes and the other to Posadas, and the Posadas line later gave an international rail connection with Paraguay. In 1907 it absorbed the British-owned East Argentine Railway, and in 1915 it set up a joint administration with the neighbouring Entre Rios Railway. By 1948 it operated some 1,212 kilometres of line when the Argentine government nationalised the railways and the network passed into the state-owned General Urquiza Railway.
