Description
A Nineteenth century train still running from Sao João del Rei to Tiradentes, two towns in Minas Gerais. By the late Nineteenth and into the Twentieth century, coffee plantations spread to northern and western Sao Paulo and into Paraná and required a railroad and port infrastructure to efficiently export the product. The ports of Rio de Janeiro, and especially Santos in Sao Paulo, flourished and coffee remained the mainstay of the Brazilian economy until the early 1960s.Um trem do século dezenove que ainda funciona entre São João deI Rei a Tiradentes, duas cidades em Minas Gerais. No final do século dezenove e início do século vinte, as plantações de café se expandiram para o norte e oeste de São Paulo e para o Paraná, exigindo ferrovias e infra-estrutura portuária para a eficiente exportação do produto. Os portos do Rio de Janeiro, e especialmente o de Santos, em São Paulo, prosperaram e o café continuou o sustentáculo da economia brasileira até o início da década de 1960.
