Pasco Sur is a ghost station in the Buenos Aires Underground, which was part of Line A until its closure in 1953.〔Contreras, Leonel. (Historia cronológica de la ciudad de Buenos Aires 1536-2014 ), 2014. p.405, Dunken〕 It is one of two ghost stations on the line, the other being Alberti Norte. ==History== The station was originally opened in 1913, as one of the original Line A stations opened that year. The station was unusual for the network in the sense that it only had one platform, serving only trains heading towards Primera Junta (the terminus at the time), with the opposite platform located some metres away at Pasco station. Given its proximity to Alberti's southern platform (located just 124 metres away), both Pasco Sur and Alberti Norte stations were closed in 1953 in order to improve the line's frequency, since the closeness of stations in that part of the line meant that trains could never accelerate to full speed before having to stop again.〔(Los 95 años de la "línea A" ) - Info Almagro〕 Some theories claim that this station was closed as a result of the destruction and burning down of the building located above the station, which was the headquarters of the Argentine Socialist Party at the time. However, it is unclear to what extent this may have influenced the closure of the station, if at all. Upon the closure of the station, passengers could still see the unaltered station for many years from the line's trains.〔(Las estaciones clausuradas de la línea A ) - EnElSubte, 24 April 2014.〕 Unlike Alberti Norte which was converted into an electrical substation,〔(Los subterráneos de Buenos Aires ) - Diario del Viajero, 30 July 2014.〕 Pasco Sur has mostly maintained its original condition, with its turnstiles, signage and ticket counters still intact, and these can be occasionally observed by passengers when the station's lights are occasionally turned on.〔 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「Pasco Sur (Buenos Aires Underground)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
