  • Resumen

  • The Puerto Rican railroad system, initiated in 1880, represented a transformative period in the island's history, symbolizing progress and fostering economic and social change. This engineering feat significantly boosted the sugar and coffee industries and reshaped the island's social landscape by facilitating internal migration and urbanization. However, with the rise of automobiles and changing economic priorities in the mid-20th century, the railroad's relevance declined. Today, its remnants serve as cultural symbols, embodying Puerto Rico's innovative spirit and adaptability. The story of the Puerto Rican railroad system is a testament to the island's capacity for change, offering enduring lessons in innovation and cultural evolution.
