The Leopoldina Railway (Portuguese: Estrada de Ferro Leopoldina) was the first railroad established in the current state of Minas Gerais. Located in the southeast of Brazil, it was inaugurated in 1874. it reached over 3,200 kilometers of track, including racks on the stretches of the Serra do Mar.[1][2]
During its history, the railway experienced serious crises and was controlled by farmers, merchants and British creditors. In 1957, the Rede Ferroviária Federal (RFFSA) assumed responsibility for the lines. However, the measures were ineffective and the railroad progressively lost its branches, being dissolved in 1975. Part of the railroad was transferred to the management of Ferrovia Centro-Atlântica, with a majority of its circuit suppressed and the remainder operating freight transport.[1][2]
