history
The Ramal de Juíz de Fora railway has its origins in Baú 1882 by the Cia railway company. EF Ramal do Rio Novo. The operation of the line was leased to the Cia. União Mineira, which in turn completed the section between Furtado de Campos and the town of Rio Novo.
At the same time, a railway company Estrada de Ferro Juiz de Fora - Piau was founded in Juiz de Fora in 1881, with the aim of putting this section into operation in 1884. But two months before it was put into operation, the section had already been sold to the Estrada de Ferro Leopoldina , which then also bought the last sections from the other railway companies and thus only produced the entire route of the Ramal de Juíz de Fora. From 1896 there were a number of legal disputes over the section of the Ramal do Piau which were only concluded in 1913 for the benefit of the Leopoldina company. The railway line of the Ramal de Juíz de Fora was finally closed on September 8, 1974, after it had been closed to passenger traffic in 1972.
