Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Argentine North Eastern Railway was a British-owned railway company, founded in 1887, that operated a 1,435 mm Standard gauge railway network in the provinces of Entre R os, Corrientes and Misiones in Argentina. When the company was nationalisation in 1948 it became part of the state-owned Ferrocarril General Urquiza. The company was founded in 1887 to take over and complete two lines from Monte Caseros in Corrientes Province, the first to Corrientes, the provincial capital, and the second to Posadas, the capital of Misiones Province. Construction of the line to Corrientes, completed as far as Curuz Cuati in 1890, was extended to Mercedes in 1898 and finally reached Corrientes later the same year. The Posadas line reached Paso de los Libres in 1894 and was extended to Santo Tom in 1901. Once the section from Santo Tom to Posadas was opened some years later in 1911 an international rail connection with Paraguay was established.
