The Santa Fe Urban Train (in Spanish: "Tren Urbano de Santa Fe") was a 3.7 km (2.3 mi) commuter rail serving the metropolitan area of Santa Fe city in Argentina. It had 8 stops, extending from El Molino to Don Bosco stations,[3] running on the Belgrano Railway Ramal F tracks at a speed of 40 km/h (25 mph).[4]

The Tren Urbano complemented other forms of public transportation on the city such as buses and cycling. Rolling stock were railbuses by local manufacturer TecnoTren, also used in the University train of La Plata.

The Tren Urbano was not longer active since 2019.[1] In March 2022, it was announced that the remaining rolling stock would be auctioned.[5][2]
