Cuba - American Steam in the Sugar Mills, 1998 (Part 1)

Cuba in the 1990's was a treasure trove of American built steam power, sadly hidden from my American steam friends because politics got in the way. In this first part of my re-edited footage from the time, we see two of the many sugar mills which were using US built steam locomotives - CAI. Ifraim Alfonso and CAI. Orlando Gonzales Ramires. At the first mill, we see Alco 2-8-0 1637, Alco 2-8-2 1910 and Baldwin 2-6-2 1635. This system featured a remarkable flat crossing of the island's only motorway, right alongside a fine bridge built for the railway by the Russians but never put into use! The second mill has the US built 2-8-0 1836 together with a fascinating selection of vehicles from the USA, UK and Russia. Recorded on tape in April and June 1998.
