Cuba’s railway network may be dilapidated and unreliable but it offers a captivating journey through history and was one of the first countries to build a railway in 1837, to transport sugarcane during its peak as the world’s largest sugar producer.
The journey begins on the Hershey line, Cuba’s only electrified railway, built in the 1920s by an American chocolate company. Traveling from Havana to Santa Clara reveals the challenges of aging infrastructure and the impact of the U.S. embargo. In Santa Clara, the site of Che Guevara’s 1958 victory showcases the historical significance of the railways. In Trinidad, visitors can ride a train once used to transport sugar while enjoying rum cocktails. A stop at a maintenance depot in Moron highlights how mechanics keep pre-Revolution locomotives operational despite limited spare parts. The adventure culminates in a thrilling ride on a 1920s steam locomotive through sugarcane fields, capturing the essence of Cuba’s railway history despite the challenges.
