La inauguraci\u00f3 de la l\u00ednia ferrovi\u00e0ria de Matar\u00f3, l\u2019any 1848, representa l\u2019entrada a l\u2019era del ferrocarril de Barcelona i, per extensi\u00f3, de tota la pen\u00ednsula Ib\u00e8rica. Tanmateix, ja l\u2019any 1800 s\u2019havia assajat a la mateixa Rambla un sistema de transport sobre carrils, el \u201ccanal en sec\u201d, concebut pel cient\u00edfic barcelon\u00ed Francesc Salv\u00e0 i Campillo com a alternativa als canals de navegaci\u00f3.
El canal en sec de Salv\u00e0 i el \u201ccarril\u201d de Matar\u00f3 s\u00f3n, doncs, les fites que emmarquen l\u2019arrencada del ferrocarril a Barcelona, per b\u00e9 que revelen els contrastos que experimentava la ciutat mentre Europa i Am\u00e8rica vivien la revoluci\u00f3 del transport dels segles XVIII i XIX. L\u2019experiment de Salv\u00e0 s\u2019avan\u00e7ava quatre d\u00e8cades al debat sobre la substituci\u00f3 dels canals de navegaci\u00f3 pel ferrocarril.
El Barcelona-Matar\u00f3, en canvi, es va construir amb tecnologia i capital importats d\u2019Anglaterra i va arribar quan pr\u00e0cticament tots els pa\u00efsos d\u2019Europa occidental havien posat en marxa les seves primeres l\u00ednies ferrovi\u00e0ries. Sens dubte, aquest decalatge deriva de la crisi econ\u00f2mica i pol\u00edtica de la Barcelona d\u2019aquell temps per\u00f2 no \u00e9s menys cert que aquestes iniciatives mostren una societat oberta al m\u00f3n, connectada amb els mitjans cient\u00edfics i intel\u00b7lectuals europeus i relligada amb altres ciutats d\u2019Europa i Am\u00e8rica a trav\u00e9s del comer\u00e7 mar\u00edtim. Ben mirat, que Barcelona fos testimoni d\u2019un experiment precursor del ferrocarril i tamb\u00e9 de la primera l\u00ednia ferrovi\u00e0ria de la pen\u00ednsula Ib\u00e8rica no \u00e9s pura coincid\u00e8ncia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
