Mike, this story (and the list) has been talked about extensively here, although the "agent" was in Spain last time I read anything about it. Most of the discussion centered on the well-established laws against buying anything Cuban. As far I know no one has been able to come forward offering any kind of solution to this seemingly insurmountable problem.

There was a large consensus that the import problem was insurmountable, but this conclusion seemed to be only speculative. Surely there cannot be a prohibition against importing to the U.S., anything that has ever been in Cuba. I have contacted the agent listed in the first post, and he readily provided the import strategy. Essentially, a U.S. buyer would be purchasing the locomotive from a Canadian owner. It sounds feasible, but I would say that it still calls for extreme wariness on the part of a prospective buyer. If importation is feasible, this would seem to be a very significant resource of used locomotives.
