US freight cars in Cuba


John Riddell
 

There are a number of US freight cars still in Cuba in various places.

In Santa Clara at least four US-built boxcars exist in an historical exhibit that were part of a 17-car armored train operated by the Batista regime during the revolution. These US-built boxcars had been armored and curiously were painted with the distinctive three yellow stripes commonly painted on boxcars of the NC & St L. They appear to be rebuilt single-sheathed cars with inverse Hutchins ends.
