Claim: Comodoro Rivadavia Railway (an Argentine railway company) was planned to have an oil refinery and the railway was used to carry rubber and soil.
Evidence: The Comodoro Rivadavia and Colonia Sarmiento Railway ("Ferrocarril de Comodoro Rivadavia a Colonia Sarmiento") was an Argentine railway company that built and operated a broad gauge line that connected the port of Comodoro Rivadavia with Colonia Sarmiento in Chubut Province. This railway, also known by local inhabitants as "Autovía", was the transport that joined oil wells of the region, where local companies Astra and YPF extracted petroleum that had been discovered in Comodoro Rivadavia in 1907. Comodoro Rivadavia had an oil refinery that worked at a capacity of 340 m (12,007 cu ft) per day, serving both lines of the railway in Chubut Province. This port had an own railway line that carried soil and rubber used for construction from a quarry in Punta Piedras. When works were interrupted, the port was set as terminus of the line until its closure in the 1970s.
