Mystery shrouds the Talleres de Liniers. It’s a hidden world within Liniers. This isn’t your typical bustling Buenos Aires station. Talleres de Liniers primarily serves the dedicated workers of the railway workshops. It opened in 1904, replacing the older workshops in Tolosa. A local group tried to get a full passenger station here in 1942. They wanted to take advantage of the existing platform. But economic reasons halted their plans. The workshops themselves have a rich history. The city declared them a historical site in 2001. This protected the 37 hectares and numerous buildings within. The Apeadero Talleres, as it is formally known, sits between Villa Luro and Liniers stations on the Sarmiento Line. Passenger trains don’t usually stop here. But you might see one pause briefly to let a worker off. The main platform is low, except for a raised, covered section at the west end. This covered area provides some comfort with seating and protection from the elements. A large pedestrian bridge on Prelado Risso Patrón street provides access to both the workshops and the platform. This bridge is your only way in and out. Interestingly, after the Falklands War, locals unofficially called it “Malvinas Station”. This name faded, just like the regular use of the station itself as workshop activity decreased. Even if mostly unused, the Talleres de Liniers remains a unique part of Liniers’ history. It stands as a testament to the area’s railway heritage.
