Argentina — a national network to the MMC standard.
6 national corridors linking 18 cities, about 6,400 km measured city to city in straight lines (about 7,700 km built, at a route factor of 1.2), with 8 cross-border links. From the Bolivian border to Patagonia, with the Andes base tunnel to Santiago and the Río de la Plata crossing to Uruguay.
The Network Concept
The national corridors.
Each corridor is listed below in order of its cities.
MMC Argentina network concept, schematic. Dark lines are national corridors; grey lines are neighbouring national corridors; gold lines are cross-border links; the wide gold band marks the spines. Routes are indicative.
Routes are indicative. Corridors are drawn city to city, through the cities on the existing railway wherever a line exists: MMC corridors follow those lines, upgrading the line or running above it on viaduct. Where no line exists, the corridor is new build. Final alignments are set at detailed design by terrain survey, geotechnical analysis, environmental and cultural heritage assessment, and agreement between the nations they connect.
