- State-owned Argentine Railway Companies
In 1948 the railway network of Argentina was nationalisation by the president Juan Perón. The previously privately-owned French and British railway companies, together with a number of companies that had been nationalised earlier, were formed into the following six state-owned companies:
* Ferrocarril Domingo Faustino Sarmiento
* Ferrocarril General Bartolomé Mitre
* Ferrocarril General Manuel Belgrano
* Ferrocarril General Roca
* Ferrocarril General San Martín
* Ferrocarril General Urquiza
These companies later together formed Ferrocarriles Argentinos.
