Well, it's old news, but it looks like the tren bala is on hold. Or at least so says Alstom, the lead contractor.
Under normal circumstances, I would say that this is not a bad thing, although Argentina probably needs all the fiscal stimulus that it can get. Then again, I doubt the project was all that shovel-ready.
Below the fold is a not-safe-for-work profanity-laced rant about the project. It's in Spanish, and had me chuckling, but seriously, every other word is a curse. So listen at your own risk. The weird thing, though, isn't the cursing, it's that El Gato Negro seems to be cursing in a Spanish accent. Why is a Spaniard so upset about Argentine politicians?
