Guantanamo Bay, Cuba: A Historical Snapshot of the Railway Station and Depot This evocative photograph captures the railway station and depot at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, a place steeped in history and controversy. The United States assumed territorial control over Guantanamo Bay under the 1903 Cuban-American Treaty, granting the US a perpetual lease of the area. The Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, established in 1903, has since played a significant role in American history. The railway station and depot, with their rusting tracks, weathered engines, and locomotives, stand as a testament to the base's rich history. The railway was a vital transportation link, connecting Guantanamo Bay to the rest of Cuba and facilitating the movement of troops and supplies. In the late 1970s, Guantanamo Bay became a refugee camp, housing Cuban and Haitian refugees fleeing their countries. Following the commencement of the war in Afghanistan in October 2001, the US military began bringing detainees from the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq to Guantanamo. By 2003, 775 detainees were held at the US Naval Base, with 420 being released without charge. The legal status and physical condition of these detainees have been heavily criticized by human rights bodies worldwide, sparking international controversy and debates over civil liberties and the rule of law. This photograph offers a glimpse into Guantanamo Bay's complex history, a place where the past and the present intertwine, and where the railway station and depot stand as silent witnesses to the events that have unfolded there.
