EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a locomotive from the Locomotores de Cuba railway service, making a stop at Zaza del Medio in 1913. The train, pictured here between Havana and Santiago de Cuba, was a vital connection between the two major cities in Cuba during the early 20th century. The steam-powered engine, with its intricate design and billowing smoke, exudes an undeniable sense of power and determination as it rests at the station. The rustic wooden platform and simple station building, surrounded by lush greenery, offer a stark contrast to the industrial might of the locomotive. Zaza del Medio was just one of many stops along the long and winding railway line that stretched over 600 kilometers, connecting the capital city of Havana with the second-largest city of Santiago de Cuba. The journey, which took approximately 24 hours, was an adventure in itself, offering travelers breathtaking views of Cuba's diverse landscapes, from the rolling hills and verdant valleys to the rugged mountains and sparkling coastline. This photograph, taken in 1913, provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the ingenuity and resilience of Cuba's railroad system during a time when trains were the primary means of transportation across long distances. Today, the Locomotores de Cuba railway service may be a relic of the past, but its legacy lives on, reminding us of the rich history and culture of Cuba.
