to the state in December 1951, operating as an independent unit until 1953 when it was finally added to Belgrano network. </p><p>On 1 January 1954, a new state-owned company, "Ferrocarril Nacional Provincia de Buenos Aires" was established, inheriting the infrastructure and <a href="/wiki/Rolling_stock" title="Rolling stock">rolling stock</a> from former French companies. The railway network formerly operated by Midland became "M" line, while the Compañía General line became "G" line. </p><p>On 14 May 1949, the Argentine state acquired the <a href="/wiki/Buenos_Aires_Central_Railway" title="Buenos Aires Central Railway">Buenos Aires Central Railway</a>, owned by the <a href="/wiki/Federico_Lacroze" title="Federico Lacroze">Lacroze Brothers</a>, adding it to the <a href="/wiki/Standard_gauge" class="mw-redirect" title="Standard gauge">standard gauge</a> <a href="/wiki/General_Urquiza_Railway" title="General Urquiza Railway">General Urquiza Railway</a> network.

The <a href="/wiki/Narrow_gauge" class="mw-redirect" title="Narrow gauge">narrow gauge</a> "Ferrocarril Depietri" railway (that connected cities of <a href="/wiki/San_Pedro,_Buenos_Aires" title="San Pedro, Buenos Aires">San Pedro</a> and <a href="/wiki/Arrecifes" title="Arrecifes">Arrecifes</a>) would be later added in November 1949. </p><p>Nevertheless, trains would be never run again on the line because the Provincial Railway did not show interest in the 68-km length line. The recently created Belgrano Railway did not take over the line. Therefore, the Argentine state returned the line to "Ferrocarriles y Elevadores Depietri" company. Depietri decided to bid the railway infrastructure as scrap. The state finally compensated Depietri for the deterioration of the line and the stolen material in 1975.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

This happened in cities such as La Banda, Laguna Paiva, San Cristóbal, Navarro, Las Marianas among many others. While in 1960 trains had carried 539 million of passengers, thirty years after the number decreased to 264 million. Between 1991 and 1992 urban and intercity services were cancelled due to lack of locomotives to run. In <a href="/wiki/San_Mart%C3%ADn_Line" title="San Martín Line">San Martín</a> and <a href="/wiki/Roca_Line" title="Roca Line">Roca</a> lines trains had only two coaches in poor conditions. In addition, railway unions made sudden strikes that left passengers abandoned midway. During the last year of state administration there were 239,000 services cancelled or delayed. </p><p>Before the closure, the National government had offered the provinces the possibility of reactivating intercity railway lines at their own expense. Few provinces expressed interest and even fewer did reach an agreement with the central government to resume services, among which were Buenos Aires (establishing its own company, <a href="/wiki/Ferrobaires" title="Ferrobaires">Ferrobaires</a>), Tucumán (with <a href="/wiki/Tucum%C3%A1n_Ferrocarriles" title="Tucumán Ferrocarriles">Tucumán Ferrocarriles</a> running trains since 1997), Río Negro (<a href="/wiki/Servicios_Ferroviarios_Patag%C3%B3nico" title="Servicios Ferroviarios Patagónico">Servicios Ferroviarios Patagónico</a>, still operating), Córdoba, La Pampa (also with services by Ferrobaires) and Chubut. Likewise, the government also transferred jurisdiction over some branches to the provinces, such as Viedma-Bariloche and <a href="/wiki/La_Trochita" title="La Trochita">Ingeniero Jacobbaci-Esquel</a> to Río Negro and Chubut (as the railway crossed both provinces); <a href="/wiki/Tren_de_las_Sierras" title="Tren de las Sierras">Córdoba-Cruz del Eje</a> to Córdoba Province.
