International Railways of Central America

The International Railways of Central America, known in Spanish as FFCC Internacionales de Centro America, was an American company incorporated in New Jersey in 1904 by Minor Cooper Keith to build and run narrow-gauge railways, three feet wide, across Guatemala and El Salvador; by 1929 its network exceeded 800 miles. United Fruit gained control of the company in 1936, and it was dissolved in 1974 after Guatemala's line was nationalized in 1968 as Ferrocarriles de Guatemala and El Salvador's operations were merged in 1975 into Ferrocarriles Nacionales de El Salvador.
