Locomotive Museum
Crossroads of Industria and Dragones
About the company:
A little north of the railway station, behind the Parque de la Fraternidad, is a small open-air museum, the exposition of which represents the history of railway business in Cuba. The exhibits of the museum are two dozen different horse-drawn carriages, locomotives, diesel locomotives. Many exhibits are already rusted and have lost their original appearance, but there are also completely unique and interesting specimens, such as the first steam crew. The crew only had room for two passengers.
Most of the locomotives on display in the museum were produced by the American company Baldwin, which ceased to exist in 1956, due to the inability to rebuild its production to produce diesel locomotives. Locomotives of this brand were in Russia: in 1895 the company delivered 2 copies, and in 1945 - 30 pieces.
