Steam locomotive scrapyard and museum, Havana

Near Capitolio in Havana you will find these locomotives, waiting for to be restored, or rust away, whatever comes first. Cuba has a plan of conserving all it´s great steam locomotive history, but the lack of materials and tools is making it a very challenging task ! Thanks to the detrimental embargo !!
Nevertheless, the sentimental view is beautiful as well, in it´s contrasts, surrounded by exotic trees and parks.

It goes perfectly, I think, with the movie.

The Author is Edward Elgar, and the whole piece is called "Enigma variations", this particular outtake is called "Nimrod".

I could just cry. Seeing all these engines rusting away is so sad for a train enthusiast like me.

This is sad what happens to the old trains that are waiting to be fixed.

too bad we can't do free trading with Cuba! Seems like Cuba never scraps old trains and cars!

So sad to see them rust away.

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.

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
