Chinese cargo locos arrive in Argentina

BUENOS AIRES - A new shipment of Chinese-made locomotives have arrived in the Port of Buenos Aires to revive Argentina's key Belgrano Cargas cargo train network.

The eight locomotives will form part of a strategic rail line that traverses northern Argentina's agricultural heartland, connecting producers with the eastern export hub of Rosario, a port located 300 kilometers north of the capital.

Manufactured by China's CRRC Qishuyan, a subsidiary of the CRRC Corporation Limited, the locomotives are part of a comprehensive plan to reactivate Argentina's rail system by modernizing its aging infrastructure.
