  • Resumen

  • The text is a long excerpt from William Gilpin’s book “The Cosmopolitan Railway”, published in 1890. Gilpin, a former governor of Colorado, advocates for the construction of a transcontinental railway system that would connect North America, Alaska, Siberia, and eventually all continents. He examines the political, social, and economic implications of such a system, arguing that it would not only stimulate economic growth but also contribute to the unification and advancement of global civilization. In particular, he focuses on the potential for this railway to spur development in Siberia and Turkestan, areas he believes are rich in resources but hindered by poor infrastructure and isolation.
