Some slow train news (with video):

Outraged commuters in Argentina have set fire to a train, because they were angry about morning rush hour delays.

Images of the charred train at Merlo station, in the west of the capital, Buenos Aires, have appeared on Argentine television.

At nearby Castelar, passengers hurled stones at the ticket office and blocked the rails.

Actually, two or more trains had been damaged, apparently.

Don't cry for Argentina railways?!

Argentina has privatised railways, another element of the neoliberal destruction there. I wonder if the Kirchners will now do more about it than plan to build high-speed and some suburban rail tunnels.
