The presence of railway reparation workshops in San Cristobal city transformed this place into a strong socioeconomic structure within the regional railway development until its closure in the 90s. In this sense, we will question the relationship among the railway labour and masculinity with the presence of female workers in the administration of workshops. Basing ourselves in the study of their employee files and in the analysis of oral testimonies, we will discuss, from a gender perspective, the configurations of railway employment, the ways in which railway activities were selected depending on the sexes, and the roles assigned to women workers both in the workplace and in domestic spaces. Our awareness of women railway workers in San Cristóbal allowed us, from a social-historical point of view, to problematize the working conditions in male-dominated spaces in this field and to consider the accepted models for men and women within the railway community and how they are legitimized in this city. En este artículo nos ocuparemos de aproximar reflexiones sobre el mundo del trabajo ferroviario femenino existente en la comunidad ferroviaria de San Cristóbal de la provincia de Santa Fe, Argentina, en la segunda mitad del siglo XX. La existencia de talleres de reparación de locomotoras y coches motores en esa localidad la convirtió en núcleo socioeconómico fuerte dentro del desarrollo regional ferroviario hasta el cierre de los mismos en la década de 1990. Para ello tensionaremos las asociaciones entre trabajo ferroviario y masculinidad con el análisis de la presencia de mujeres trabajadoras en la administración de los talleres. A partir del estudio de sus legajos laborales y del análisis de testimonios orales, pondremos en discusión, desde la perspectiva de género, las  configuraciones del empleo ferroviario, las maneras en que se construyó el trabajo ferroviario de los varones y de las mujeres y las prácticas femeninas asignadas a las trabajadoras tanto en el mundo laboral como en los espacios domésticos. Nuestro hallazgo de las empleadas ferroviarias de San Cristóbal nos permitió, desde un abordaje histórico social, problematizar las condiciones laborales de los espacios ferroviarios masculinizados y tensionar los modelos sociales de varones y mujeres consensuados al interior del colectivo ferroviario y legitimados por la comunidad.
