A Redempção reported that police at Jundiaí had ordered Black passengers off a train on the basis of race, treating Black mobility as grounds for suspicion. The account makes railway travel a contested space: lines built to move coffee and wealth could also carry people seeking freedom, while authorities used racial appearance to police movement. This is the paper’s report, not an independent transcript of the police order.
