SI NACIO FERROAMIGOS CLUB BELEN DE ESCOBAR
Moved by the intention of preserving the Historical Heritage of the Argentine Railways, on November 19, 1995 the FERROAMIGOS CLUB BELEN DE ESCOBAR was born in the garden of the house of Mr. Cesar Eugenio Carballo.
Forming like this, a civil association with Legal Entity.
With the running time and fruit of arduous managements, it was obtained, "the old cargo shed of the station Escobar" that today we use of Headquarters. This place at the time of reception was totally vandalized, abandoned and partly burned down.
After many days of intense work in the restoration process and thanks to the dedication of its founding partners, is that today the visitor can access a small Railway Museum and enjoy samples of Ferro-modeling on our scale model H0 1:87.
HISTORY OF THE ESCOBAR TRAIN MUSEUM
Event of re-enthronement of the image of the Virgin of Luján in Escobar Station - 08/12/2009.
The Ferroamigos Club Belén de Escobar does not yet find words of gratitude to Father Daniel Bevilacqua and his deacons of our Cocatedral Natividad del Señor, Volunteer Firefighters, Police of the province of Buenos Aires, Gauchas Groups, Santa María School, Municipal Traffic Direction, Trains of Buenos Aires (TBA) and in particular to the people of the party for their presence in the act of re-enthronement of the Image of the Virgin of Luján in Escobar station on December 8 last. It was for our institution pleasantly comforting the massive call, which exceeded our predictions and expectations maximally. We estimate that we greatly exceeded the 1500 people, to such an extent that the platforms of the station were insufficient to accommodate the populous retinue, finally locating us on the tracks. It is for us a pride to have participated in such a solemn act, linked from the beginning to the railway activity of our beloved city. Best regards, thank you very much to all Ferroamigos Club Belén de Escobar Train Museum.
