BAP operated of cargo in the provinces of Buenos Aires, San Juan, San Luis and Mendoza. == History == As part of the railway privatisation carried out during the presidency of Carlos Menem, BAP was granted a concession to operate the San Martín freight railway services that had been managed by defunct Ferrocarriles Argentinos since 1949.〔("La concesión del sistema ferroviario de Cargas" - Historia de los Ferrocarriles Argentinos ), CNRT website (Archive), 23 Dec 2011〕 The company was part of the consortium "Industrias Metarlúgicas Pescamona" (IMPSA) that had been also granted the Urquiza Railway system to be operated by sister company "Ferrocarril Mesopotámico-Urquiza".〔("La crisis del ferrocarril" by Alberto Pontoni ), EcoLink, Apr 2005〕 During its first years of operation (1994) the company carried 2,439,729 tons of cargo.〔("Estadísticas del Transporte Ferroviario" ), CNRT website, 2 June 2015〕 Nevertheless, in 1998, Industrias Metarlúgicas Pescamona (IMPSA), owner of BAP and Ferrocarril Mesopotámico (that had been granted concession to operate passenger services), announced that they would retire from the rail transport, selling the 73,5% of BAP and the 70,5% of FM to Brazilian company Ferrovía Sul Atlántico (FSA).〔("Pescarmona se va de los trenes" ), ''Clarín'', 21 Ago 1998〕 Nevertheless, the Government of Argentina, owner of the entire railway network granted in concession, did not allow the operation due to IMPSA had not comply with the terms and conditions of the contract of concession, with unpaid charges for over A$ 130 million.〔("Pescarmona no puede quitarse una carga de encima" ), ''Página/12'', 14 Ago 1998〕 In 2000, the operation of San Martín Railway line was took over by "ALL Central", a subdivision of Brazilian company América Latina Logística.〔("El Gobierno rescinde el contrato del Tren de la Costa y del Parque de la Costa" ), Apertura.com, 4 Jun 2013〕〔("Polémica por una suba de tarifas en trenes de carga" ), ''Los Andes'', 16 Jan 2001〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Buenos Aires al Pacífico S.A.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
