Final agreement was achieved in February 1979 between Argentine Railways (FA) and a consortium of Japanese companies for electrification of the former Roca Railway suburban lines out of Plaza Constitucion station in Buenos Aires. The electrification with traction power of 25 kV, 50 Hz involves complete upgrading and energising of 130 route-km of 1676 mm gauge, comprising lines to Glew and Ezeiza, and to La Plata by two routes.
