New Locomotive Repair Shops. 



The United Railways of Havana have 

 recently taken over from the Snare & Triest 

 Company, constructor, the handsome new 

 and commodious locomotive repair shops 

 at Cienaga, on the outskirts of Havana. 



Every equipment of these shops is ntvf, the 

 motive force used is electric, and they con- 

 stitute a decided advance on anything in this 

 line in Cuba. The construction of the new 

 shops was commenced in the fall of 1908, 

 and while rains delayed the work to some 

 extent, it was finished in good time. 



Interior view of the repair shop pictured above. It shows a great locomotive entirely suspended 

 by the immense crane.
