Trains

Havana is the hub for rail transport in Cuba, for both cargo and passengers. In the city there are vital products which originate primarily for domestic steel, equipment, or products of light industry. They receive significant loads besides food, cement and mineral processing in large industries. The passenger transportation has not yet recovered from the crisis at the end of the twentieth century, but today it has signed agreements with Venezuela and China, for the repair of roads and the purchase of new equipment.

The two stations are:
Central Railway Station
Railway Station Coubre

During the summer period they have set train routes from the station’s Coubre to the beaches of the city.
