329 - April 22, 2013 - MITRE AND SARMIENTO OPERATIONAL MANAGEMENT UNIT/FCGBM. Two Toshiba formations running together between the Retiro and Maldonado Junction switches. On board the K formation (U 1052, FU 2613, U 1772 and U 1774) you can see how it ran alongside the M formation (U 1007, FU 1059, U 1026 and U 1057). The first one provided a service to Bartolomé Mitre, while the second one fulfilled the functions of the collection train. On the way they crossed paths with two PUMAS formations: formation B (U 2362, U 2116, FU 2194, U 2353 and U 2031) coming from José León Suárez, and formation 10 (FU 2103, AA 2207, U 2600, U 1001, U 1506 and FU 1073) coming from Tigre. Between both crossings you can see the new Chinese locomotives parked in the Kilo 1 depot of the San Martín Railway. Once both Toshibas separated, a third appeared, formation N (U 1804, FU 1523, U 1057 and U 1767), coming from Bartolomé Mitre and heading to Retiro.
