this the reason I'd establish a Import/Export shipping line in Mexico to give Cubans the car & loco parts they want Even import good used or new US & Canadian locos to Cuba
I just can't understand why the Disney Corporation couldn't at least try to save some of these old narrow-gauge steamers for all of its various theme parks and resorts.
@rgerhardtembarq I live in Lakeland Florida and our city leaders sold our historic steam locomotive from Adair park for $150. Because they did not want to move and paint it. Everybody in the world treasures there treasures and our city leaders throw ours out like yesterdays garbage Now that is a shame.
@tburzio I think you are right that the embargo may be counter productive. The previous rulers were not so great huh? Either way, the Cuban's are pretty good with keeping old gear working and the embargo is probably good for steam: the GM diesel salesman didn't come here!

We saw these a couple of years ago and they are actually looking better; they've had some red lead painted on them and some paint restored.
