They are not efficient, but neither is a rusting diesel loco needing an oil of some source.

So, they figure that they =can= run their steamers on bagasse or other vegetable matter....

Do they have air brakes of the cars in Cuba or did they just not hook the trainline

[P51srules]

they still use steam cause most of the time one steam engine is more powerful the 2 desiel units and their cheaper to run

Anything built newer than 1964. refrigerators, stoves, t.v.'s, Vacuum cleaners, cars, trucks even houses can't hold a candle to durable products built before that date.. Modern machines are built with planned obsolescence in mind so they constantly break and cost a lot to repair. They may be faster and less rude,but they're designed to break in such a way that you either can't fix it yourself, must pay a repair specialist or must buy a new one, usually within 7-8 years. Look at this workhorse!
