This railway was the second he had built in Peru - the first in Peru and South America was that of Lima - Callao.
The Peruvian government granted the privilege of operating the railway, for a term of 99 years, to José Hepan, who transferred his rights to the English Company The Arica e Tacna Railway Company. On February 1, 1942, the English company, for economic reasons, handed over to the Peruvian government the aforementioned railway, with Mr. Carlos Guevara taking office as the first administrator.
By Law of Congress, of December 16, 1851, promulgated by the Constitutional Government of Don José Rufino Echenique, the construction of the Tacna - Arica Railway was ordered. For this purpose, the studies of this railway were carried out by Eng. D. W. Evans. and the contract for the work was awarded to José Hepan.
The Peruvian government, valuing the importance of the Tacna area, from the commercial and mining point of view, ordered the construction of the railway from Tacna to the port of Arica. Thus, this route is closely linked to the history of Tacna and the homeland.
