La Bombonera has a lot of peculiarities. Because of its shape, its mystique, its iconic nature, because it has been declared one of the best stadiums in the world, because of its history, its neighbourhood, because it beats. In short. Also because a train passes behind the Temple. Yes, right next to it. Coincidentally, that’s what this story is about, about the formation that derailed this Thursday in La Boca and for which the club had to close a sector.
It has to do with the Roca line freight railway that passes behind the Temple. One of their formations derailed in the morning and blocked one of the parking lots at La Bombonerawhich is why Boca had to communicate internally the impediment to using that beach.
It was like that for a long time. In any case, the blockade did not last long, since They immediately got to work to avoid the blockage generated by the train going to the Avellaneda side.
THE STORY OF THE TRAIN THAT PASSES NEXT TO LA BOMBONERA
Originally, the track that the Roca Railway now runs along was used by a line belonging to the Buenos Aires Railway. However, This line was acquired by the Ferrocarril al Sud and in 1948 it was nationalized and adopted the name Ferrocarril General Roca.
That same line was divided into two: one that headed towards Barracas al Sud (what is known today as the Avellaneda district) and the other that went directly to La Boca station, crossing through Caminito. Currently it is a freight train and at least once a day you can hear its whistle from the bowels of the Temple.
On the days that Boca plays in La Bombonera, this formation generally does not work, But it has happened in many cases that, for example, some television vans had to move their trucks so that the train could pass.
The train that passes through Bombonera is historic. A symbol of the La Boca neighborhood. The train that passes through Bombonera is historic. A symbol of the La Boca neighborhood.
