About

Cuba, having been the first Latin American country to get a railroad, has several old locomotives still intact today, and is a popular place for enthusiasts to get their train fix.

Mal Tiempo train depot in Cienfuegos displays four ancient Baldwin steam locomotives that once freighted country’s prized sugar cane. Follow the rails to the Naval Museum for more historical reminiscing.
