History

The station was opened about 1890 by the Buenos Aires and Rosario Railway, a company that would be absorbed by the Central Argentine Railway in 1908. The railway ran north from the Patio Parada node and proceeded towards the city of Santa Fe, capital of the province.[3] The station was named after Manuel de Sarratea, an Argentine diplomat, politician and soldier who took part of the May Revolution and was Governor of Buenos Aires Province (1820).

After the entire Argentine railway network was nationalised in 1948, the station become part of the General Bartolomé Mitre Railway division of recently created Ferrocarriles Argentinos. In 1977 Sarratea station was closed,[4] as almost all passenger services were eliminated.[5] Like other stations of the former Ferrocarril Mitre, it is now maintained by freight rail company Nuevo Central Argentino.

gollark: Maybe the goal is to make all your opponent's functions identity functions, as someone said.
gollark: And you can combinate at your opponents a bit, but it's harder than affecting your own.
gollark: I would prefer to make it so that you just... apply functions to the slots somehow, and the goal is to make your own functions cool and good™ somehow and the opponent's bad.
