Orientador: Eduardo Romero de Oliveira / Banca: Paulo Cesar Gonçalves / Banca: Domingo Cuéllar Villar / Banca: Surama Conde Sá Pinto / Banca: Ana Lucia Duarte Lanna / Resumo: Em 1904, chegou ao Brasil um grupo de empresários a fim de investirem e explorarem o transporte ferroviário. Tiveram como principal representante Percival Farquhar, que desempenhou atividades que foram desde os serviços públicos, como distribuição de energia, até o transporte. Em 1906, o grupo cria a Brazil Railway Company, um holding, e assume a grande maioria das concessões das ferrovias brasileiras. Suas atividades estavam concentradas principalmente no Sul e Sudeste do país. A administração de Farquhar chegou até os anos de 1920, quando mudam a gestão devido a uma crise econômica. A Brazil Railway Company tem características peculiares: desenvolveu, além do transporte ferroviário, a colonização e atividades extrativistas, como a exploração da madeira no Sul e carne bovina congelada. Nossa pesquisa tem por intuito estudar as atividades ferroviárias desse holding no Sul e Sudeste do país, entre os anos 1904 até 1920. Utilizamos como fonte os documentos oficiais da própria empresa, periódicos e Relatórios Ministeriais, além de documentações pessoais, como cartas e Ofícios de Farquhar e outros membros do grupo / Abstract: In 1904, a group of businessmen arrived in Brazil to invest and explore rail transport. Their main representative was Percival Farquhar, who performed activities ranging from utilities such as power distribution to transportation. In 1906, the group creates Brazil Railway Company, a holding company, and takes over the vast majority of Brazilian railroad concessions. Its activities were concentrated mainly in the South and Southeast of the country. Farquhar's administration arrived until the 1920s, when management changed due to an economic crisis. The Brazil Railway Company has peculiar characteristics: it has developed, in addition to rail transportation, colonization and extractive activities, such as the exploitation of timber in the South and frozen beef. Our research aims to study the railway activities of this holding in the South and Southeast of the country, from 1904 to 1920. We use as source the official documents of the company itself, periodicals and Ministerial Reports, as well as personal documentation, such as letters and Crafts of Farquhar and other members of the group / Doutor
