Description: Journey through the forgotten railways of the Caribbean, from the sugar-hauling steam engines that once threaded Jamaica's hills to the enduring lines still crossing the Cuban countryside. This richly detailed history traces the rise of tropical rail engineering, the distinctive challenges of building track through cane fields and mountain passes, and the golden age when locomotives connected island communities. As diesel, decline, and the motor age took their toll, only fragments of this iron heritage survived — and this book follows that story to its haunting present, exploring the rusting relics and living memories left behind.
