This work investigates the structuring character of the rail system in the urban configuration process of the cities of Uberaba, Uberlândia and Araguari and its potential for landscape qualification and restructuring. The implantation of the railway companies in the region of the Triângulo Mineiro in the nineteenthtwentieth century has designed the new urban landscape in the indicated cities. In the 1970s, the deactivation of the old systems and the construction of new equipment on the urban borders triggered intense reconfigurations of the landscape, both centrally, with the opening of new free spaces, as well as in the periphery, with the presence of new infrastructures that connect and, at the same time, they break the territory. The systems, both deactivated and in use, are surrounded by urbanization, but have little relation to other urbanized spaces.
