Inside the Fantastic forgotten city of Paranapiacaba in Brazil

The British as the main pioneers and holders of unique railway Technology at a time when the rich Atlantic rainforest of Brazil had produced many sorts of coffee in Europe.

Vila de Paranapiacaba was established during the middle of the 19th century; it was made in the module of the prison system by Jeremy Bentham and was created by the British-owned São Paulo Railway Company.

So astute was the zig-zag railway line in the hilly local area of land was a masterpiece from the British engineers and laborers at the time.

The purpose for the construction of the town was initiated when the company built the railway line to export coffee beans from the area through the port of Santos. it was a successfully built village and was inhabited for  30 years until automated machinery replaced the funicular, which was labor-intensive.

At one time, there were 4,000 workers, most of them British citizens. The last steam train in Paranapiacaba was deactivated for labor work in 1982 and the population of the village suddenly fell and many of its buildings were suddenly left.

History may ask what was the cost of the sudden falling out and the total oblivion of the once industrious little village, was it because coffee started gaining grace from other Europe cities or from some other countries in Europe?

The village is now predominantly occupied by the locals who stayed and grew up with their families.
