Trinidad Train

One of the first countries in the world to build a railway. Travelling on this steam train proved to be a pleasant change from British Rail but the timings are equally unpredictable but an open air carriage was very welcome in the Caribbean heat.

Traveling by train in Cuba requires time and patience. Though not the most reliable forms of transport, once on it's both an exciting and fun journey through the wilderness.
