About me

This website and all its contents are the sole responsibility of a restless railway enthusiast seeking to share something of the wonderful world of railway materials.

I was born in Rosario, Santa Fe, but I feel at home anywhere where a train passes nearby.

I studied civil engineering and I am a lecturer at the University of Buenos Aires.

My interest in trains was awakened in Mercedes where I spent my childhood on the side of Belgrano Railway. Afterwards, Sarmiento Railway marked me deeply.

My time in the automotive industry helped me organize my ideas, take rigor and work with precision. Today I work, study and teach for a better railway.

The articles on this page are highly technical, tough, and often difficult to follow. Sorry about that, but I haven’t been able to do it any other way yet. I am working on other formats for less technical, more visual and more general content, which will soon be available on the website.

There is much done and much to develop in the Railway Material´s world. That is why at FerroTRACK all enthusiasts who want to participate in this sharing process to enrich the Argentine Railway System are welcome.
