Description: Specimen Stock printed by American Bank Note Company. Available in Gray, Green or Orange. Please specify color. In 1912, the United States-based company International Railways of Central America (IRCA) took over almost all of the railway systems in Guatemala and also acquired a major railroad in El Salvador. By 1929, the company connected the Guatemalan and Salvadoran rail lines, providing El Salvador with access to the Caribbean. In 1936, the United Fruit Company of Boston gained controlling interest in IRCA. During the Guatemalan Revolution (1944"1954), both IRCA and its parent company came under scrutiny from economic nationalists and labor activists. They criticized IRCA's control over freight transportation and its unfair pricing. Following the revolution, United Fruit sold off much of its IRCA holdings. In December 1968, the government purchased IRCA and placed the rail transportation under the management of a state-owned agency called Ferrocarriles de Guatemala (FEGUA).
