law was passed which meant that the entire La Brugeoise fleet would receive protection status and would thus only be donated to organisations dedicated to their restoration and preservation. The 45 200 Series CNR cars which arrived in 2013 were not sufficient to cover the entire fleet of the line, so it had to be supplemented by a temporary fleet of 35 Fiat-Materfer cars, which was still not enough to replace the 120 La Brugeoise units. Some additional refurbished Siemens-Schuckert Orenstein & Koppel trains were added to the temporary fleet in addition to the Materfer trains. However, the replacement of the rolling stock coincided with the opening of the San José de Flores and San Pedrito stations, so the line was still left with insufficient rolling stock causing a decline in passenger numbers. In the meantime, a further 105 200 Series cars were ordered from China so that the line would be served in its entirety by 150 of these cars. This mean that the Siemens O&K cars could be completely retired from service and the Materfer cars moved to Line E in time for its extension to Retiro. These cars steadily arrived in Argentina from 2015 and were incorporated into the line in order to deal with the declines in frequency and passenger numbers since the retirement of the La Brugeoise cars. The last of the CNR units arrived during 2016 and 2017, by which time Line A's rolling stock consisted entirely of the 200 Series. Ghost stations Two ghost stations exist on the line. These are Alberti Norte and Pasco Sur, which were closed in 1953. Both these stations had a single platform which allowed boarding trains only towards a single direction, while their opposite platforms (located close to each of the ghost stations) remain open as Alberti and Pasco.
