Havana Steam
Cuba used to be a great place to see steam engines still at work. Then as the sugar industry collapsed in the late 90s the mills started closing and the engines were laid up. Fortunately, for now at least, they weren't scrapped and many have been cosmetically restored. For instance down by the harbour in Havana a number of them are lined up next to the San Jose craft market. In fact I believe tourist trains ran here up until 2011.
This is a Rogers 2-6-0 from 1894 that ran at the Pablo de la Torriente Brau mill.
