This show was also released in 1996 as part of the Steam Around The World Series, and is now being offered on DVD for the first time in 2021.
This video depicts American-built engines still operating in Cuba during the sugar cane rush which is during the winter harvest. This video is strong in great action lineside photography where the engines are working very hard, as we witness highlights from a visit in 1996. You'll enjoy heavily loaded cane trains on both standard and narrow gauge lines. These are some of the best steam lines in Cuba, and we think you will really enjoy the show these engines give us with plumes of smoke to the sky, and great audio from the exhausts as they struggle to pull the heavy trains. There is a nice introductory segment in the tape which shows some of the Cuban surroundings and even includes many classic vintage American automobiles still operating. You'll see some wild things like a big ALCO 2-8-2 with a cow racing it, and a train that breaks apart |
