The role of the State and the market and their relative influence upon the economic growth, has been the object of long lasted academic discussion. In this paper we propose to contribute to debate from another perspective: that of their interaction and reciprocal influences, with the object to realise the manner by which an specific order is constructed. Specifically we analyze the Argentine railway sector, in the last stage of great constructions with foreign participation, at the beginnings of the XXth century. The study is centered upon the efforts of the State to revert or mitigate the effects of an oligopolic structure in the market. At the beginnings, by the promotion to the entry of new actors and lastly, by the construction of a regulatory order with the consensus of the big companies, which would be in force for some 40 years, until the great nationalizations of 1946-47.
