General Gutiérrez station, also known simply as Gutiérrez station,[1] is a light rail station located in the town of General Gutiérrez, Maipú Department, Mendoza Province, Argentina. The station opened on 28 February 2012, as part of Metrotranvía Mendoza.
History
In 1885, the station was inaugurated by the Buenos Aires and Pacific Railway, as part of the branch of Retiro to Mendoza. The station was re-opened on 28 February 2012, as one of the terminals of the Metrotranvía Mendoza.
On 9 September 2022, Trenes Argentinos began the inspection of tracks so that the station becomes the new western terminus of long-distance passenger service on the Retiro-San Luis-Mendoza line, which currently ends in the city of Justo Daract.[2]
Proposed commuter rail
As of 2025, the General Gutiérrez station is proposed to be a terminus for the Tren de Cercanías del Este (English: East Commuter Rail),[3] a planned commuter rail line from General Gutiérrez to the Libertador San Martín station in Junín.[4]
