Abstract

[fre] Résumé Le retard économique a obligé l'Etat portugais - dont la situation financière était caractérisée par l'insuffisance des recettes fiscales - à assurer la construction des chemins de fer les moins rentables et à aider la construction des autres. Bien que le rôle de ses ingénieurs ait été important, l'effort financier n'a pas assuré à l'Etat un contrôle absolu des tracés et des tarifs ferroviaires. Les régions intérieures en ont souffert. Le Portugal n'a pas dépassé le seuil du développement pendant cette période mais il a connu une croissance considérable. [eng] Abstract Economie backwardness forced Portuguese State, wich didn't collect enough taxes in the 19th century, to provide financial assistance to railway building. Although Portuguese engineers have been very importante, financial effort didn't give the State complete control on railway lines and maximum rates. Hinterland was handicapped. Portugal knew a remarkable progress within this period although it didn't reach take off.
