Estación Constitución (Spanish for "Constitution Station") is a large train station in central Buenos Aires, Argentina. The facility is located opposite the plaza bearing the same name, two kilometers to the south of the Obelisco landmark.
All southbound trains (the Roca line) have their terminus at Constitución and the station is served by two primary railway corporations. The commuter rail company Metropolitano provides local services to the nearby city of La Plata and into the surrounding suburbs of Buenos Aires while the publicly-owned Ferrobaires company operates long-distance passenger trains throughout much of Buenos Aires Province. Major destinations include Mar del Plata, Miramar, and Bahia Blanca with connecting services further south to Carmen de Patagones.
Constitución is accessible by the C line of the city's subte (subway), by numerous public bus lines (including the colectivo 60 line), and by long-distance bus services.
The surrounding neighbourhood - part of Barrio Constitución - is characterized by low-rent residences for people from the provinces (or from neighboring Paraguay and Bolivia) who come to work in the big city.
The massive hall, built by the British, is one of the largest in the world.
