Although it was initiated in the first stage of this period (1906), its conclusion in 1917 marks a transition between the phase of connection with the outside and that of internal integration. Indeed, this railway was the first major integration effort between two major cities and the most expensive of the railroads built in this period (see Table 1). Rodríguez Ostria synthesizes the arrival of the railroad from Oruro to Cochabamba as follows: 335: 369:... After twenty-five years of waiting and conflict (1892–1917), forty thousand vociferous people from the city and neighboring towns contemplated the arrival of the first locomotive on July 26, 1917, which, presumably, four more days late and as if he knew the agony of his waiting, he inaugurated his route with two trips to the city of Oruro.

derailment occurred and the cost of freight transportation was reduced. However, passenger tariffs were raised, in part because they were previously subsidized. At the same time, the coverage of the rail system was reduced by closing several unproductive branches, which were returned by the private companies to the State. In fact, 3,692 km were transferred to private enterprises in 1997 and in 2011 they operated 1,954 km, that is 47.1% less.

In capitalization, the Bolivian state maintained ownership of the infrastructure and received royalties for the concession.

As a result of capitalization, the state succeeded in transforming subsidies in the order of $ 10 million annually to the former ENFE into income through taxes and fees of about $ 2.5 million.

As can be seen in Table 1, the construction of railways in Bolivia was costly due to the mountainous topography. With the consolidation of the Western network, Bolivia was firmly linked to the Pacific region. The load exported by Antofagasta increased 70% between 1888 and 1904, the load exported by
