This dissertation seeks to analyze the importance of the integration terminals of the North Section of the North-South Railway (FNS) for the economic development of the municipalities of Açailândia (MA) and Porto Franco (MA) and the municipalities of Palmeirante (TO) and Porto Nacional (TO) In this scenario, the North-South Railway, although it was not designed to transport passengers, is an important corridor that allows the flow of grains, idealized in the 1980s, it shows itself as a possibility of integration between the Brazilian regions, both from North to South and from West to East, when completed, it will have an extension of 4,155 kilometers in length. The general objective of this research was to analyze the relevance of the railway modal for the country, its influence for the growth and economic development of the municipalities that received the multimodal yards, located in the North section of the North-South Railway. Another aspect highlighted, is the influence and importance of the infrastructure, giving emphasis to railroads in productive agglomerations, in the light of François Perroux's theory of Growth Poles, seeking to understand the dynamics of economic activity in spaces and their impacts on poles and regions.
