About the Event
Late 19 th century marked the creation of Puerto Rico rail system. It was expanded due to the sugar cane industry growth during the 20 th century.
A Spanish Engineer in 1874 made a proposal to build a steam railroad line along the coast of Puerto Rico. The proposal served as a base for its construction in 1888. One of the most significant projects of this line was linking the main rail line through Isabela and Quebradillas. It required the construction of tunnels and tall
bridges, including Guajataca Tunnel in 1904.
