The article is concerned with the origins of logistics in the capital of Mexico from the last decade of the 19th century until the end of the 1950s, through a mode of delivery and cargo taking that employed an entire set of facilities of classification yards, lateral circulation, shunting and auxiliary tracks, which carries out forward and reverse movements of locomotives and hauling equipment in order to load, unload and assemble trains. With these final delivery activities, the railroad has created its own artificial logistics space and established an urban morphology that resulted in a "logistic archipelago" within the city, until 1958 when operations and tracks were concentrated in a large terminal in the north of Mexico City.
