Cultural heritage has revealed importance and visibility in product development and tourist itineraries proposed. Regions seek greater diversification of cultural offerings, highlighting the concern over the railroad heritage, which in Brazil, underwent a privatization process in the 1990s, due to the decline of the rail system efficiency, initiated in the 1940s. This article aims to analyze some of the Brazilian railways that suffered some kind of tourist implement, evaluate the urban-regional policies adopted and development possibilities offered by a plan at these levels, with emphasis on the maintenance and preservation of the railway heritage , linked to the development of tourist activities. However, it is emphasized that this importance and visibility are far short of the need to preserve the railway heritage, making the historical context and the reasons these processes crucial for the better understanding of the decay process and devaluation of railways in Brazil.
