The 2013 Buenos Aires rail disaster occurred on 13 June 2013 at about 07:30 local time (10:30 GMT), in Castelar, Buenos Aires Province, about 30km (19 miles) west of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

A passenger train travelling in the morning rush hour hit a stationary train that was empty. At least 3 people were killed and another 315 were injured.[1][2][3] This crash took place on the Sarmiento line between Once railway station and Moreno, the same line which was the scene of the 2012 Buenos Aires rail disaster.[4]

Following official investigations which determined that the brakes were in working order and that the conductor sped through three warning signals without attempting to apply them,[5] the conductor, Daniel López, was formally charged with negligent homicide on October 2.[6]
