>>1338444>>1338444Yea i loved those trains as a kid, or as they were called, "Coches La Brugeoise" (By the manufacturer's name, which was purchased by Bombardier in 1988). They were the first subway cars in all of latin america, and still rocked hard till the days they were decomissioned (Effectively working non stop for 99 years, 1 month and 10 days, at least most of them). And up until that time, becuase of the non existance of a manufacturer for spare parts, everything was fabricated at the Polvorines shop.
Currently some of those cars have been restored for and are kept for the occasional historical train ride, some others are abandoned, and at least one is working as a motorized chassis for the overground Urquiza Line.
What i remember mostly about them was the pleasing warm candy sort of smell they had (Due to their antique wood grain and resin based brakes lmao), the sideways shaking of the upper side of the chassis, their incandescent lighting, which made it look like a century old living room, and those doors that you had to open with a strap and closed with a bang when the train started leaving.
