Villa Elisa Historic Train, Heritage railway in Entre Ríos Province, Argentina

The Villa Elisa Historic Train is a heritage railway that runs on 1,435 mm gauge tracks between Villa Elisa and Caseros in Entre Ríos Province. The line, originally built by the British-owned Entre Ríos Railway, is now operated by the non-profit Ferroclub Central Entrerriano using a 1928 Scottish steam locomotive and two original ERR coaches.

The railway line opened in 1907 and served as an important transport link for agricultural products from the region. Service ended in 1980, but the line was later brought back as a tourist attraction.

The service is run by Ferroclub Central Entrerriano, a non-profit association of railway enthusiasts. Its 1928 Scottish steam locomotive was recovered from Concepción del Uruguay, and two coaches originally used by the Entre Ríos Railway were added after restoration. The winter route continues by bus to San José Palace, the former residence of Justo José de Urquiza, president of the Argentine Confederation from 1854 to 1860.

Train service varies by season: local runs operate during summer months, while longer routes run at other times. Check schedules in advance to plan your visit accordingly.

The 1928 Scottish steam locomotive was found abandoned in Concepción del Uruguay before enthusiasts restored it and added two coaches originally used by the Entre Ríos Railway. The line runs on 1,435 mm gauge track, and the trip to Caseros takes about 120 minutes.
