Avellaneda Park Historic Train, Heritage railway in Parque Nicolás Avellaneda, Buenos Aires, Argentina
The Avellaneda Park Historic Train operates on a 1600-meter circular track around the Olivera Mansion, offering 15-minute rides through green surroundings.
The railway began operations in 1936 after relocating from the Buenos Aires Zoo, where it initially served as transportation to the nearby sports center.
The train, nicknamed Expreso Alegría, maintains its original purpose of providing recreational rides for families and educational visits for school groups.
The heritage railway operates on Saturdays for general visitors and Tuesdays for scheduled school groups, with departures from Clemente Onelli station.
Two Ruston & Hornsby diesel locomotives and an Arnold Jung engine pull vintage Orenstein & Koppel coaches along the park's perimeter.
