What is Empalme Villa Constitución?
Empalme Villa Constitución is located about 5 kilometers (3 miles) from the city of Villa Constitución. It is also about 45 kilometers (28 miles) south of a larger city called Rosario.
The name "Empalme" means junction in Spanish. This name was chosen because of its special location. It sits where two important railway lines meet.
One railway line is the main route connecting Buenos Aires and Rosario. The other is a shorter line that goes to the port of Villa Constitución. This shorter line was built and opened in 1886.
