Ferrocarril Austral Fueguino (translated into English this reads as Southern Fuegian Railway and hence the name Train at the end of the World is normally used) was reopened to passenger traffic on 11th October 1994.

The railway was originally opened in 1896 and operated to serve the Prison of Ushuaia.

Closure came in 1947 and thereafter it lay derelict until an Argentine entrepreneur had the idea of reopening the line as a tourist railway in order to provide an environmentally efficient and friendly way of conveying people to within the boundary of the Tierra del Fuego National Park.

The railway provides an all year daily passenger service. The core-timetabled departures from Estacion Fin Del Mundo are mid morning, mid day and mid afternoon, an expansion of this service is provided at peak times. Tickets can be booked and purchased from either the Muelle Turistico in the city of Ushuaia itself (transport from this point is available to FCAF at 45-minute intervals) or Estacion Fin del Mundo booking office.
