An unrealized proposal to build an early railroad in Colombia from the Cauca Valley to the port of Buenaventura on the Pacific coast. Two families the Borreros and the Sanders formed the company to fund the construction of the line in Cali in 1836. Because of the legal intricacies of the federal system in Colombia at the time the central government could only subsidize interoceanic transportation and it fell to individual states and private companies to build infrastructure. The first railroad in Colombia which crossed the isthmus of Panama was completed almost twenty years later in 1855. Not in OCLC. Manuel G. Córdova unknown
