Español: Cartelón anunciando la inauguración del primer camino de fierro de la República mexicana, con fecha del 14 de septiembre de 1850. El mismo anuncio indica que la inauguración se realizaría durante las fiestas patrias mexicanas, el día 16 de ese mes, y que los trenes comenzarían a correr el día 22.
El primer párrafo del texto del anuncio dice: "La Comision de acreedores al camino de Perote á Veracruz, y la Empresa encargada de la compostura de este y de construir el Ferro-Carril de Veracruz á San Juan, tienen la satisfaccion de anunciar al público, que despues de vencer las inmensas dificultades han opuesto el terreno y el clima de la costa, la falta de brazos, la guerra estrangera, la envidia y la maledicencia, y el conato que ha ecsistido de destruir esta útil y benéfica obra del camino de Fierro, se ha conseguido poner ya en disposicion de transitarse el tramo que hay desde Veracruz hasta el Molino, y que tiene una estension de quince mil setecientas varas, debiendo correr los trenes desde el prócsimo 22 del actual." Este ferrocarril fue el producto de una autorización otorgada por el gobierno del presidente Antonio López de Santa Anna el 31 de mayo de 1842 a la empresa de la Comisión de Acreedores al Camino de Perote a Veracruz, quienes desde principios del siglo XIX se encargaban del mantenimiento de dicho camino. El ferrocarril de 13 kilómetros de longitud conectaba el puerto de Veracruz con el Río de San Juan. El primer intento para construir un ferrocarril en México se hizo durante el gobierno de Anastasio Bustamante en 1837, solo 7 años después de la creación del primer ferrocarril en Inglaterra, pero dicho intento no dio frutos.English: Poster announcing the inauguration of the first railrway in the Mexican Republic, dated to September 14, 1850. The announcement itself states that the inauguration would take place during the Mexican national holidays, on September 16, and that the trains would begin run on September 22.
The first paragraph of the announcement's text says: "The Committee of Creditors on the road from Perote to Veracruz, and the Company in charge of the its maintenance and the construction of the railway from Veracruz to San Juan, have the satisfaction of announcing to the public that, after overcoming enormous dificulties posed by the terrain and climate of the coast, the lack of workforce, the foreign war, the envy and slander, and the intention that has existed to destroy this useful and beneficial railway work, it has been possible to put the section from Veracruz to El Molino, which has an extension of fifteen thousand seven hundred rods, in disposition to be traveled, and the trains should run from the 22nd of the present month." This railway is the product of an authorization given by the government of President Antonio López de Santa Anna on May 31, 1842, to the Comittee of Creditors on the Road from Perote to Veracruz, which, since the early 19th century, were in charge of maintaining that road. The 13-kilometer-long railway connected the port of Veracruz with the San Juan River. The first attempt to build a railway in Mexico was made during the administration of Anastasio Bustamante in 1837, just 7 years before the creation of the first railway in England, but this attempt was not successful. |
