Sumario: This article presents and analyzes the identity construction process of a rail workers collective of rural origin that was linked to an industrial work environment by the middle of the 20th century in Bogotá. Different ruptures and continuities, as well as the confluence of working tensions and vindications of the rural trajectories, determine the composition of particular memory and identity matters. From collected oral narratives of the laborers, this study shows the most significant elements of day-to-day life around the railroads, its tensions and its encounters.
