founding of companies, legislation, technical matters, statistics, railway designs, or administrative structure. Most of it either details companies' administrative and fi nancial status, or reports transportation and railway engineering in Brazil more generally-when railways were confi ned to Rio de Janeiro, Pernambuco, Bahia, and São Paulo. Other texts of the second half of the nineteenth century include legal analyses of railway grants, engineering manuals, tariffs, managerial reports, documentation of building projects, and speeches. For example, loans obtained in London by the Brazilian consul Sergio Teixeira Macedo in 1853-55 to fi nance the Dom Pedro II Railway-the fi rst Brazilian railway-are well documented. Documents published in the fi rst decades of the twentieth century offer more general information on the railways and the cities they served. These texts are valuable inside perspectives of railway operation, particularly administration and engineering.
