OUTLINE OF CUBA RAILROAD 



PORT IMPROVEMENTS 



AT NUEVITAS 



The two wharves are lo- 

 cated at Punta I^astelillo, a 

 point about five kilometers 

 from the present Nuevitas 

 station. The track has been 

 laid and the roadbed com- 

 pleted out to this point, with 

 the exception of some shal- 

 low filling and trestle work, 

 and work has been started 

 on the buildings located on 

 the wharves and the sugar 

 warehouses on the point. 



The new wharves are to be 

 700 feet in length with two 

 houses at the end of each 

 wharf 282 feet long, for the 

 storage of freight passing to 

 and from the steamers, and 

 at present the average depth 

 of water alongside the 

 wharves is 21 feet, but the 

 plans call for further dredg- 

 ing to secure the necessary 

 depth of water to permit 

 ships to turn.
