Estracion Railway Station - Guantanamo Bay, Cuba: A Historical Snapshot of the Controversial Naval Base This evocative photograph captures the abandoned Estracion Railway Station in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The station, with its towering water tower and rusted train carts, stands as a relic of a bygone era, a time before the United States assumed territorial control over the bay under the 1903 Cuban-American Treaty. The treaty granted the United States a perpetual lease of the area, which later became the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base. The base has a complex and contentious history, having been used to house Cuban and Haitian refugees from the 1970s onwards. Following the commencement of the war in Afghanistan in October 2001, 775 detainees were brought to Guantanamo from the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, 420 of whom were released without charge. The legal status and physical condition of these detainees has been heavily criticized by human rights bodies worldwide. This photograph, however, offers a glimpse into the past, before the naval base became synonymous with detention and controversy. The railway station, with its manual levers and hand-operated carts, speaks to a time when travel was slower and more personal, and Guantanamo Bay was simply a picturesque bay in the Caribbean. The water tower, with its American flag proudly displayed, stands as a reminder of the United States' territorial control over the area, a control that has been the subject of much debate and controversy in recent history.
