Abstract
The rail companies were deeply affected by the economic crisis of 1866. The businessmenand the investors, pressed by their losses, asked the government about a way to face theproblem. One of them, José de Salamanca, wrote a letter to the president Ramón Narváezsuggesting him a project whereby the government took charge of the railways. This arti-cle analyses Salamanca’s project in the context of the aforemetioned crisis.
