Abstract
Recientemente en Colombia ha surgido el interés por explicar los acontecimientos
de la historia económica del país dentro del enfoque de la cliometría.
Sin embargo, el análisis del transporte y su influencia sobre el desarrollo
económico nacional no ha recibido suficiente atención. Este ensayo busca
cubrir tal deficiencia; después de todo, éste es un tema central en el estudio
de la historia económica de un país. El trabajo proporciona una nueva base
de datos que contribuye al estudio del desarroUo del transporte terrestte en
Colombia. El aporte principal del estudio consiste en demostrar que los ferrocarriles
no jugarían un papel fundamental en el desarroUo de la economía colombiana.
