Ferrocarriles Mediterráneos

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ferrocarriles Mediterráneos S.A. (FEMED) is a company in Argentina which operates a 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) broad gauge railway line between Córdoba and Villa Maria built by the British-owned Central Argentine Railway, which became part of Ferrocarril General Bartolomé Mitre after railway nationisation in 1948.

As part of a national railway privatisation plan, carried out under the presidency of Carlos Menem, a concession to operate the line was granted to the government of Córdoba Province in 1992 and was later transferred to FEMED in January 1999.
