When I first took the subte (MRT or underground subway) of Buenos Aires, I was amazed to see the entire train still made of WOOD!
I missed my stop because I didn't know the doors were to be opened manually... No pre existing memory of manually operated wooden trains in my memory this time...
Anyway its just the Linea A (line A) of the subte that is still running 1920s british antique. The other lines have upgraded to their more modern japanese counterparts.

Yes, the wooden structure would be a great surprise. I remember when the body work of some station wagons were made of wood - made in USA too ! Please feel very welcome at my blog any time.
