Abstract: The objective of this work is to analyze the economic contributions of the North-South Railroad (NSR) in the counties of Goiás state. A descriptive analysis of GDP per capita data from 2003 to 2013 is made. Tax collection and labor income, both from 2003 to 2015. The analyzed counties of Goiás are those cut by the Palmas/ TO - Anápolis / GO railway. The evolution of these data during the above mentioned period reveals the construction of the NSR alone was not sufficient to contribute to the economic growth of the counties, measured by the domestic product, in other words, it would also be necessary to stimulate support activities that generate spillover effects in the economy. Labor income and tax collection tend to improve indicators in the peak years of the NSR construction, but are not maintained after the completion of the construction. This fact can be explained by the fact that the railroad is not in operation, making it difficult to consolidate investments in the counties.
