The Buenos Aires Midland Railway (BAM) was a British-owned railway company which operated in Argentina, where it was known as Ferrocarril Midland de Buenos Aires. The company built and operated the 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) gauge (metre gauge) line between Puente Alsina and Carhué in Buenos Aires Province.
After the railway nationalisation in Argentina in 1948, the BAM became part of Belgrano Sur Line, the company closing as a result. Today services on the line are operated by the state-owned company Trenes Argentinos, the concessionary of Puente Alsina-Marinos del Crucero General Belgrano branch.
