Take a leisurely trip from Casa Blanca, across Havana harbour from the big city, to Matanzas - 92 kilometers by rail taking 3 hours and forty minutes with countless stops. We did hit a large steer but nobody seemed very concerned. Everyone got a turn at the controls and got to blow the horn as desired. Very few automobiles or trucks in view the whole way, were were truly traveling in a parallel universe. These cars were built in Spain in 1948, and though some of the original stock is apparently stored we did see one electric loco at the half-way town of Hershey, home of an enormous rusting sugar refinery.
