American Woman Finds Love in the Digital World: Marries AI Chatbot, Declares Him the 'Perfect Husband’

La historia textil de la Magdalena Contreras no puede contarse correctamente sin la del Ferrocarril del Balsas, que fue clave para el florecimiento de la localidad.

En 1897 se inauguró oficialmente la vía Ferrocarril México-Cuernavaca y el Pacífico que, además de permitir el tráfico de materia prima y mercancía terminada; ofreció trabajo a muchas generaciones de Contrerenses.

Durante décadas la vida productiva de la región orbitó alrededor de la presencia del ferrocarril, originando una cultura de respeto y admiración hacia el oficio que aún prevalece hasta nuestros días. 

En 1997, después de casi 100 años de operación, el Ferrocarril Balsas dejó de dar servicio, enterrando así el romance que sostuvo con la industria textil durante tanto tiempo.  Actualmente algunos vestigios de la línea férrea se exhiben en el parque recreativo-cultural La Estación, que mantiene vivo el recuerdo de la época dorada del ferrocarril en Contreras. 

Pese a que el lino, la lana y el algodón ya no forman parte de la cotidianidad de la Magdalena Contreras, hay muchos indicios que permanentemente les recuerdan sus raíces a los locales. El Parque de Los Dinamos, por ejemplo, le debe su nombre a las plantas de energía hidroeléctrica escalonadas –conocidas como dinamos- que alguna vez alimentaron a las industrias textiles. El antiguo domicilio de los dueños de la fábrica El Águila es ahora La Casa de las Bellas Artes Juventino Rosas, en honor al célebre compositor quien, supuestamente, aquí escribió el “Vals sobre las Olas” inspirado en el vaivén del Río Magdalena. La fábrica per sé es ahora el Foro Cultural, mientras que el Centro Cultural Magdalena Contreras se erige sobre lo que en la década de los cuarenta fue el Cine Contreras.
