TAVE
The Buenos Aires–Rosario–Córdoba high-speed railway (Spanish: Tren de Alta Velocidad de Argentina, abbrevriated TAVe, also named Argentine bullet train) was a project designed to link the Argentine cities of Buenos Aires, Rosario and Córdoba through a 710 km (440 mi) high-speed rail network.
The plan, announced by then-President Néstor Kirchner during a press conference at the Casa Rosada on 26 April 2006, would have been the first not only in Argentina but in South America, operating at up to 320 km/h (200 mph). reducing the time of the service from 14 to 3 hours.
The entire project, which costs had been calculated in US$4 billion creating 5,000 jobs directly, was dismissed due to the 2008 financial crisis. Although French company Alstom intended to resume the project, plans for a high-speed train were definitely suspended.
