| In a scene that would have inspired the Reverend
Awdry, narrow gauge locomotive No.1337
loses its train on the approach to the northern loading point at Pepito Tey sugar
mill on March 5th 2000. The driver reacts immediately, pulls the whistle to alert the brakeman, and sets the loco back while the firemen hurries to
reconnect the couplings. Such action is vital: the runaway train would accelerate straight downhill, right into the loco shed and the factory building.

| 'John Raby is currently editing a 3 DVD set Steam Locomotives in Cuba (around 4 hrs in total) as well as a single DVD Narrow Gauge only version of this. Contact John if you are interested in a pre-publication offer on these DVDs.' See http://www.users.waitrose.com/~jraby/cuba.html, this is a clip from one of them (24th November 2007): |  |
| The classic American No.1342 from Marcelo Salado sugar mill was perhaps the most handsome engine in Cuba. This did not save her from hard work, as could be seen near Remedios on March 9th 2000 (22nd August 2007). This clip is from Andreas Illert. |  |
| And now for a little bit of history from Andreas Illert, steam locomotive 1358 from Pepito Tey Sugar Mill (in Cuba) hauls a train of empties to the northern loading point of the narrow gauge system on 3rd March 2000. Obviously the oil burner is not adjusted well, a good part of the fuel is converted to smoke rather then traction (12th May 2007). |  |
