- 18. THE TRAINS DEMISE By1898 Puerto Rico experiences the industrial revolution that swept the 20th C. Under newly appointed American rule and in response to Ford automobile development, train lines cease to operate, and by 1954 the stations close. Therefore leaving the agricultural zones of the island without a means for the transportation of goods. The train station closures also result in the loss of architectural patrimony since the elimination of these structures will be key to the elimination of the societies links to Spanish rule.
- 19. THE TRAIN TODAY:THE URBAN TRAIN The collective transportation system has only been developed for the capital city, San Juan. Isolated from the capital, the neighboring districts remain dependent on the automobile as their only means of transportation

- 22. SOUTH WEST IMPORTANCE Traindevelopment in the south west region of Puerto Rico will kick off during the 19th C. as a result of the regions sugar cane plantations. The train will be the favored method of transportation for Agricultural goods. The 20th C. Industrial Revolution will reverse the agricultural significance of the region. The paradigm shift will move citizens out of the fields and into factories. Transport of goods becomes unnecessary and the train is deemed obsolete.
- 23. Problems resulting fromtrain abandonment Sociocultural degradation and lack of environmental sensibility. •Intensive use of the automobile as the only means of transportation. •lack of collective consciousness regarding environmental effects of pollutant emissions. •Pollution.

Mangrove trees, coral reef barriers, and luminescent bays have been impacted by the lack of environmental surveillance that a site of this nature would require.

HEART OF THEPROJECT Creation of a terminus that will be located at the end of a new line that will stem from the ancient train line This terminus is meant to provide a new point of departure for pedestrian circulation and site exploration. The line and terminus will integrate into the existing fabric while permitting vehicular separation from the endemic ecosystem.
