Ferrocentral was an Argentine private railway company, with a name being a portmanteau of the Spanish words for "Central Rail". It operated long-distance passenger trains from its base at Retiro Mitre station in Buenos Aires to several locations in northern Argentina, running on Ferrocarril Mitre's 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) Indian gauge tracks.

The company also ran regional services (such as Tren de las Sierras) on Ferrocarril Belgrano's 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+38 in) metre gauge tracks in Córdoba Province.[1][2] The National Government invested $10 million to re-open the line.[3]
