Resumo
Em meados de 1900, perfilava-se a possibilidade dos Caminhos de Ferro do Estado virem a comprar carvão à mina
do Cabo Mondego, dada a sua localização estratégica junto da Figueira da Foz. Esta cidade era servida por um porto
marítimo e por dois dos grandes eixos ferroviários do país, ficando sensivelmente a meia distância das suas principais
sedes de exploração: as linhas do “Minho e Douro” e as do “Sul e Sueste”. A proposta de contrato foi escrutinada pelos
técnicos do Estado, que emitiram um parecer favorável. Todavia, a frágil situação financeira da empresa mineira não
permitiu corresponder às condições contratadas com a Administração dos Caminhos de Ferro, apesar dos adiantamentos
de capital que aquela lhe fizera nesse sentido. O arrastamento dos incumprimentos, bem como os contornos do negócio,
tiveram um ponto final aquando da implantação do regime republicano.
In the mid-1900s there was the possibility of the State Railways come to buy coal in the Cape Mondego mine, given its strategic location near Figueira da Foz. This city was served by a sea port and two of the major railways lines of the country. Besides, it was halfway of its main headquarters of exploitation: the railway lines of “Minho and Douro” and “South and Southeast”. The contract proposal was scrutinized by State technicians, who issued a favourable opinion. However, the fragile financial situation of the mining company did not allow to match the agreed conditions with the State Railways, despite capital advances already made to help the Company. The continued non-compliance, as well as the contours of the deal, had an end when the republican regime was deployed.
