Excerpt from The Railway Revolution in Mexico This was not a matter of great moment so long as Spain's colonial restrictions on trade were maintained. A few Indians or a few donkeys would carry at a single trip all that any town received from Spain in the course of a year; and the colonists were thus thrown back upon their immediate efforts for the satisfaction of their wants; and the king, by prohibiting trade between the colonies, emphasized their isolation, and indicated the uselessness of means of communication. This restrictive policy of Spain with regard to her colonies tended to place the European settlers on the economic basis of the Indians. A short period of the kind of life to which they were reduced made them forget most of the wants that had belonged to their previous station, and made it comparatively easy to provide what seemed to be an adequate satisfaction of those remaining. But by the imperfection of the means of production, and of internal transportation, a vast amount of force was consumed without great results. It is not enough to say of this case that labor was cheap, and to find in this a justification of its unprofitable use. Labor was cheap because, through the force of custom and the restrictions of the law, it continued to be used in such ways that its product could afford no larger compensation. By referring to Spain's restrictions on trade with and in America, the accomplishment of ends with rude means, and the employment of human and animal power directly with little use of mechanical appliances, we indicate the early character of Mexico's economic system, a system which became so thoroughly rooted in custom that its main characteristics were preserved well into this century; and some of its features are conspicuous in the Mexican life of the present. Fruit is still carried into the City of Mexico on the backs of men, over distances requiring journeys of several days; and when you buy it there in the market, you think it still cheap, from which may be inferred how little must be the daily compensation of these men, and, in relation to the result, how great the expenditure of force.

Excerpt from The Mexican National Railway: Palmer-Sullivan Concession Its population in 1876 was and is now something greater. It is, therefore, a little more populous than the two kingdoms of Belgium and Holland. Or, to seek another European illustration, it is nearly equal to the combined populations of Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Bulgaria. It is this magnificent domain (as yet, substantially, virgin as a railway field) which The Mexican National Railway is entering from the United States, and simultaneously building northward and westward from the central capital' of Mexico.

Excerpt from The Railroads of Mexico Mexico's centennial year, 1910, marked the end of normal conditions throughout the country. Porfirio Diaz, who had brought order out of chaos, was an old man. The voices of discontent were no longer quiet, and the world was asking with renewed interest the question, "After Diaz, what?" Hardly had the great anniversary celebration been concluded when insurrection broke out in the north, and a reign of disorder set in which has continued with varying degrees of violence until the present. When the power that maintains public order breaks down, property interests suffer; and railroads are peculiarly liable to loss and destruction. The regularly constituted government avails itself of its right to take over the lines for military use; equipment is seized for the transportation of troops, munitions, and supplies; and the service essential to the maintenance of commerce and industry is disorganized if not brought to a complete standstill. Revenues fall off, outlays for construction and maintenance are curtailed, and the return to investors is suspended. More serious still is the effect of the activities of the forces of rebellion and disorder. Bridges are destroyed and tracks are torn up to prevent the movement of trains; equipment is seized and buildings arc burned. All varieties of railroad property arc destroyed, sometimes purely for the sake of destruction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In late nineteenth-century Mexico the Mexican populace was fascinated with the country’s booming railroad network. Newspapers and periodicals were filled with art, poetry, literature, and social commentaries exploring the symbolic power of the railroad. As a symbol of economic, political, and industrial modernization, the locomotive served to demarcate a nation’s status in the world. However, the dangers of locomotive travel, complicated by the fact that Mexico’s railroads were foreign owned and operated, meant that the railroad could also symbolize disorder, death, and foreign domination. In The Civilizing Machine Michael Matthews explores the ideological and cultural milieu that shaped the Mexican people’s understanding of technology. Intrinsically tied to the Porfiriato, the thirty-five-year dictatorship of Gen. Porfirio Díaz, the booming railroad network represented material progress in a country seeking its place in the modern world. Matthews discloses how the railroad’s development represented the crowning achievement of the regime and the material incarnation of its mantra, “order and progress.” The Porfirian administration evoked the railroad in legitimizing and justifying its own reign, while political opponents employed the same rhetorical themes embodied by the railroads to challenge the manner in which that regime achieved economic development and modernization. As Matthews illustrates, the multiple symbols of the locomotive reflected deepening social divisions and foreshadowed the conflicts that eventually brought about the Mexican Revolution.
