Villa Elisa Historic Train, Heritage railway in Villa Elisa, Argentina
The Villa Elisa Historic Train is a heritage railway that connects Villa Elisa with Caseros through Entre Ríos Province. The line passes through rural areas and agricultural fields that stretch across the landscape.
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 station reflects the heritage of French, Swiss, and Italian settlers who shaped the region starting in 1857. The buildings and how people gather here tell the story of this mixed European influence.
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 original water tank for steam locomotives still stands on the grounds and shows the railway's technical history. The tracks themselves were built by British engineers and feature a specific gauge that reflects construction from that era.
