In particular, emphasis is given to thelong-term impact of the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920), which produced asocio-technical impasse with regard to land transportation until approximately1960. During these years various modes of transportation coexisted althoughnone was capable of displacing the railway or emerging as the dominant mode oftransport. The reasons for this situation may be located in the material,institutional, and social damages produced by the Revolution, low levels ofurbanization, rural underdevelopment, as well as institutional uncertainty withregard new forms of mobility. En el presente ensayo se hace una reflexión sobre el ciclo de vida del ferrocarril en México, su introducción, crecimiento, madurez y declive, considerando la interacción con otros medios, el ambiente institucional y las políticas públicas. En particular se destaca el impacto de largo plazo que tuvo la Revolución Mexicana (1910-1920), que creó un impasse e hibernación socio-técnica en el transporte terrestre hasta 1960 aproximadamente; coexistieron diversos modos sin que ninguno fuera predominante o desbancara completamente al ferrocarril. Las explicaciones de ello se encuentran en la matriz de daños materiales, institucionales y sociales dejados por la Revolución, así como las indefiniciones institucionales sobre una nueva movilidad, la baja urbanización y el atraso del sector rural.
