The aim of this essay is to analyze which were the consequences of the Mexican Revolution in the operation of the National Railways of México during the early years of the conflict. We argue that, unlike it is commonly thought, the first years of this railroad company were not so badly in terms of finances and infrastructure, despite the violent civil war. We will rely to support our hypothesis on primary sources, mainly on the newspaper El Economista Mexicano, and the Annual Reports submitted by the Ferrocarriles Nacionales de México.
