Another group of old American sugar locos emerges from storage for display in Cuba. https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=a0807b23 ... HB3_6005Lk |

The 2-8-0 that still has paint on it is Minaz 1816 that Porta did some upgrades to increase it efficiency. I'm glad to see it preserved. More information on it here http://www.martynbane.co.uk/modernsteam/ldp/1816/minaz1816.htm |

It looks more like a junkyard than a display. I'm sure it's a work in progress. Maybe they'll do something nice with them. |

At least they're not cut up. Being there for zafra in 2001, 02 & 03 was amazing. Got in just in time as most of the mills closed in 2004. |
