Between 1878 and 1911, British-owned railway companies built an extensive railway network linking the city and its port to the countryside.
1884 the Government promulgated a law that designed and regulated the railway network in the country. That plan established a radial system, where all the lines joined in Montevideo. Concessions were granted to British companies for a period of 25 years. After that term of exploitation, the State was responsible for expropriating the railway lines in case of non-compliance by the concessionaries.[1]
The old and disused railway station in Montevideo has ironwork by Andrew Handyside and Co dated 1895 and statues at the front of a number of famous engineers including George Stephenson and James Watt.
