In 1980, the workshop became the headquarters of the AAT, who house and restore their growing collection of antique trams there.[2] In 2008, the Buenos Aires City Legislature granted the workshop protection status as part of the city's national patrimony, which includes its rails and section of tunnel which join the workshop to Primera Junta station.[3]
In recent years, the workshop - which had once also served - has had a diminishing role in the Underground following the construction of new workshops on Line D and Line E and is increasingly shifting its focus to its function within the AAT and on storing and refurbishing La Brugeoise cars.
