Abstract

In its current spatial organization, recovering industrial goods recovers an economic, social and politic framework, which allows us to understand their production process. Their stories are recorded in the vestiges of a past-present. They represent a materiality loaded with meanings given by values assigned to them. In this article, we discuss the railroad heritage as part of the so-called industrial heritage. We have assessed the value of the Vitória-Minas Railway (EFVM) by studying the railway transformation, as well as its environment’s, through space and time. We work with specific focus on analyzing the railway’s importance to the city of João Neiva. The choice of the Vitória-Minas railway as this study’s subject passes through reflection and pointing aspects to be considered in the heritage valuation of railroad heritage, regardless of its preservation instance (federal, state or municipal).
