The Cuba Railroad 



This new line completing the railroad connection between Havana and Santiago, and Antilla, 

 on the Bay of Nipe, is of standard gauge and similar in its construction and equipment to the better 

 class of northern lines. All of its important bridges are of steel and masonry, and the line generally 

 is rock-ballasted. The main line passes along the center of the eastern and wider half of Cuba and 

 opens up a matchless and most picturesque agricultural region, and passes through the tropical forests 

 of mahogany, cedar, lignum vits, ebony and many other trees, hung with vines and millions of 

 orchids. Palm trees of magnificent aspect and great variety abound everywhere. The famed Pa- 

 rana and Guinea grasses, covering most of the open districts and standing from six to twelve feet 



high and green the year round, together with frequent run- 

 ning streams, make this an ideal cattle country. No food 

 has to be put up and no shelter is required, The rich soils 

 everywhere are adapted to sugar, tobacco, cotton, corn and 

 an endless variety ot products. The swamps which occur 

 at places along the coasts of Cuba are absent from the inter- 

 ior, which is high, dry and exceptionally healthy. The trade 

 winds blow across Cuba every day, and bring to all parts 

 fre^h sea air; the extreme heat of northern summers is con- 

 sequently unknown and the humidity of other tropical coun- 

 tries is also unknown. 



The Cuba Railroad Company's Hotel Camag^Jey, at 

 Camaguey (formerly Puerto Principe) is by far the most 

 popular resort in Cuba. Spanish in style, and provided with 

 bath rooms and other modern conveniences, and is first-class 

 in all respects. 



This old city has about 40,000 inhabitants, is pictures- 

 que and is situated in a beautiful and remarkably healthy 

 district. The hotel is especially favored by those wishing 

 to spend some weeks or months in a matchless sub-tropical 

 climate.
