Bahia Central Railway

From Graces Guide

Previously known as the Paraguassu Railway, in the Bahia province of Brazil

The Paraguassu Steam Tramway Company was formed for the purpose of opening up communication between the port of Bahia and the diamond fields in the province of Minas (about 150 miles distant), and eventually with the valley of the San Francisco river. The works were commenced under good auspices, and the first section of the line was completed; but further progress was arrested by the financial depression which supervened.[1]
