Abstract: [eng] Abstract The railways worked in Spain during the second half of the 19th century as an instrument for the settlement of the national market. On this context, the rail network in the Valencian country encouraged the agrarian product development at regional scale. On one hand, commercial growings, such as oranges and wine, were introduced into the international market. On the other hand, the railway constituted a decisive element in the delivery of manure, guano, fertilizers and other inputs which were necessary to improve the specialization and intensification of agriculture. [fre] Résumé En Espagne, durant la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle, les chemins de fer ont été l'instrument de la consolidation du marché national. Dans ce contexte historique, le réseau ferroviaire de la région de Valence a facilité l'augmentation de la production agricole régionale. Il a permis aux cultures très commerciales (oranges et vin) d'accéder au marché international et il a constitué le principal mode de transport pour la distribution des «guanos», engrais et autres inputs indispensables à la spécialisation et à l'intensification de l'agriculture valencienne.
