Como parte de una política de cambio de imagen, durante dicho período, la empresa destinó notable atención a la promoción de dos sectores que se erigían como asidero de la modernización: las azafatas de los “Trenes Bandera” y las empleadas del flamante Centro de Cómputos. Se argumenta que la atención puesta hacia las mujeres en el ferrocarril estuvo asociada al hecho de que su inclusión fuera considerada modernizante. Para ello, se analizan fuentes documentales y, también, se incorpora el testimonio oral de una azafata de los “Trenes Bandera”.
