sterlingstreamliner Thanks sterling. I agree, Cuba is somehow the perfect place for this old train. The county once had a very extensive railway network, and it still has some other old steam trains which I hope to see one day.
Raymond Leggs It's a herculean task to keep a beast like this running over all these long years, especially getting critical parts with the American embargo and all. You will notice that there's lots of water leaking, probably the gaskets haven't been changed in a while.
The country was not always under a US embargo, thou it may seem that way after more than 60 years. Cuba was once the richest most cultured country in the Americas, a "paradise playground" that had every imaginable product under the sun. Thanks for commenting Evan.
