This research is part of the project “Allegory of Heritage: Nature, techniques and cross-images of the Cearense Central backwood” (NATIMA). In this paper I intend to analyze the construction of photographic representations about the railway station of the interior cities of Quixadá and Capistrano, looking at the building of these monuments as the attempt to signal the progress made by their economic elite. How were the memories of those who experienced this period and about the operation of the railway represented in these images? How, then, did the economic, political and social changes occur with the founding of the Railway Station? Finally, it was a vehicle in the nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries as a public transport and for the flow of artisanal and agricultural production of these municipalities to the capital of Ceará, Fortaleza, for example.
