Seven-hour journey behind an 1954 EMD G8 locomotive. From Guantanamo to Holguin in Cuba.
Join me on a calm and relaxing journey on the local train from Guantanamo to Holguin in Cuba.
This train only runs during the summer and in 2023 it was operated with a G8 locomotive from 1954 and former German "Silberling" coaches.
Along the way, vendors continuously appear, selling everything from refresco (soda) and chupa-chupa (lollipops) to cookies and cigarettes.
The train also includes a guarded express freight car transporting everything from chickens to motorcycles, furniture, and various agricultural products.
The first part of the railway line from Guantanamo to Holguin is a branch line that runs through partly hilly terrain with some large bridges.
We pass by some once-important stations where there were large sugar mills. These sugar mills, like many others in Cuba, were closed down in the early 2000s.
At San Luis Combinado, we meet the double-track main line between Santiago de Cuba and Havana, and we follow this to Cacocum station.
Here, a short branch line leads north to Holguin.

Переглядів 734Місяць тому
Memories from 1998 when we ran tourist trains with steam locomotive between Åndalsnes and Bjorli in Romsdalen, Norway. It was a strenuous job for the fireman on the long climb from Foss Bridge up to Bjorli. Along the way, we took water for the locomotive from the large water column located in the terrain above Verma station. An experience of fantastic nature, dizzying views, and crystal-clear w...

In 1995, an adventurous locomotive crew from the Krøderbanen Heritage Railway in Norway embarked on an unforgettable journey to Germany and Poland. With their experience from locomotive practice weeks in Wolsztyn in 1990 and 1991, they had built strong bonds with the Polish crews and the locomotive management there. During their 1995 visit, they joined a freight train from Wolsztyn to Konotop o...

Train dispatching at Flisa station. The Solør Line is one of the few railway lines in Norway where trains are operated with train messages, and the stations are manned by train dispatchers. When the ERTMS system (European Rail Traffic Management) is introduced, this will disappear. The station offices, the station staff who report trains with train messages, and all the light signals along the ...

    Grew up with railway books where of course all the pictures of older trains were illustrations or early black and white photos, Caroline would be 30 years old by the time of the 1st silent films, to see such a thing in 4k Video is almost mind blowing.

    Først og fremst, det er flott at dette blir dokumentert - og glimrende gjort! Samtidig er nedbygginga av infrastruktur et uomtvistelig tap. Sammen med oppsplittingen av all drift, går felles sikkerhetskultur og resiliens ved driftsforstyrrelser også tapt. Ikke at det er økt risiko, men tidsbruken øker når mange parter (foretak) må involveres. Denne «effektiviteten» er selvsagt synlig på et regneark, men brukerne - og trolig personalet? - er ganske frakoblet i «lønnsomheten». Så var det sagaen om veteran-materiell og ERTMS, da. Kanskje Hamar-museet finner en «rik onkel» til å rigge om noen lok, slik at ikke det fantastiske arbeidet ender som en statisk utstilling? Uff, jeg er vel litt negativ, det ligger litt i tida vi er i. Grunnen er at jeg setter enorm pris på dere som gir alt for å ivareta vår jernbane-historie…! 👍

    Flott video. Teknologisk føles dette som noe som er fra 50-tallet (noe det også kanskje er), men det er mange innebyggede sikkerhetsmekanismer - selv om de er mekaniske / "analoge". Nå som ERTMS kan bli utsatt (bombe) må TXP trolig fortsette slik en stund til. Bane NORs MZ var trekkraft på CargoNets tog siden det var omkjøring?
