EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back in time to the year 1835 in Havana, Cuba, where the construction of the railway between Havana and Bejucal was underway. The photograph, a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the era, shows the meticulous process of building the railway track. Workmen, dressed in simple clothing and hats, are seen laboriously laying down the iron rails, using sledgehammers and other tools to secure them into place. The railway bed is being prepared in the foreground, with gravel and stones being meticulously spread and leveled. In the background, a horse-drawn cart carries more supplies to the site. The railway, a groundbreaking innovation for transportation in Cuba, was a significant undertaking for the time. The construction process was arduous, requiring immense effort and resources. The image captures the raw energy and determination of the workforce, who were driven by the promise of a more efficient and connected transportation network. The railway was an engineering marvel, and its construction marked a turning point in the history of transportation in Cuba. It would pave the way for the development of a more interconnected and modern transportation system, revolutionizing the way goods and people moved between Havana and Bejucal and beyond. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the construction of the railway in Cuba during the mid-1800s. It is a reminder of the ingenuity and perseverance of the people who built it and the profound impact it had on the development of transportation in Cuba.
