Talk:Compañía General de Ferrocarriles en la Provincia de Buenos Aires

Name of the company
The French name of the company was Compagnie Générale de Chemins de Fer dans la Province de Buenos Aires, and the formal Spanish name was Compañia General de Ferrocarriles en la Provincia de Buenos Aires (see Historia Integral Argentina, vol. 5, p. 183; Centro Editor de América Latina, 1971). Not sure all of this matters greatly, for which reason I didn't insert it into the article.

The abbreviation for the company was CGBA (see prior reference), which I have also observed on the ground in BA and Rosario. I see the article used CGBA once and FCGBA twice. I changed the occurances of FCGBA to CGBA, but feel free to revert it if you don't agree.

By the way, the Historia Integral has a great "Genealogía del riel argentino" that I wish could be posted, but it is likely still under copyright. Jim 16:24, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi Jim, Thanks for once again spotting my typos. I did, of course, mean to use CGBA throughout. I must try to get hold of a copy of Historia Integral. David(Talk • Contribs) 20:26, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
