This paper analyzes the importance of the North-South Railway (FNS) for the economic development of the municipalities of Açailândia (MA) and Porto Nacional (TO). Thus, it addresses the relevance of the railway modal for the country, the privatization of railway sections in operation, the projection of cargo transportation for the coming years and its territorial impacts. Furthermore, it is demonstrated how the investments of the concessionaires play a significant role in this process, since the construction of the FNS has been, for several periods, stagnated due to the lack of public management of resources. It also demonstrates how public / private management is an alternative for the consolidation of Brazilian railways, contributing to interconnect and intensify the economic relationship between Brazilian cities and regions with the world market. Through bibliographic and documentary research he finds that there were improvements in the economy of the municipalities of Açailândia (MA) and Porto Nacional (TO), places where the main FNS railway yards are in operation.
Keywords: Economic Impacts. North-South Railway. Açailândia. Porto National. Regional Development.
