History rolls again: the old A line wagons from our
first subway are back in town. As we celebrated last December 1st
the 100 years of Buenos Aires subway, many of the traditional La Burgeoise
wagons have been restored and will offer a weekend tour between Plaza de Mayo
and Plaza Miserere stations. Hostel Colonial tells you all about a pride of
Buenos Aires that you can discover.
More than 30 wagons were fully restored: original
Belgian wood was replaced; ornaments and details were taken care by a group of
experts headed by local artisan Juan Carlos Pallarols. The preservation of
historical patrimony of our city is a priority and the history that run in the
A line is a large part of it. It is a history of our working class, of our
students and the growth of our middle class.
Except for the incorporation of safety elements that
did not exist at the time these wagons first started rolling, the original
design is being kept. Every little piece is polish or replaced, the electric
materials are also restored and the traditional wooden seats have every little
piece of wood in line, ready and waiting for you. Don’t miss the chance to meet
with our history, reserve your seat in the A line historical tour!
