Central Uruguay Railway

Estación Central General Artigas of Montevideo was built by the CUR. It was closed in 2003

The Central Uruguay Railway (CUR) was one of the five original rail systems in Uruguay. The other four were the Midland Uruguay Railway Co., the North Western of Uruguay, the Uruguay Northern, and the Uruguay East Coast Railway. CUR, including its leased and worked lines, was considered the most important system.[1] It controlled about 1,560 kilometres (970 mi) of track. The system operated four sections: the Central Uruguay Railway Original Line (including the Northeastern Line), 436 km (271 mi); the Northern Extension Railway, 298 km (185 mi); the Eastern Extension Railway, 501 km (311 mi); and the Western Extension Railway, 340 km (211 mi).[2]
