Baldwin #1256 at sugar mill "Frank País"
This is the last remaining steam locomotive at the ruins of sugar mill no. 640 of Cuba, "Frank País", which closed in 2002. The loco has the number 1256 and was built in 1923 by Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia. Wheels 2-8-0, gauge 36", construction no. 57207. Here is a link to a photo when it was still in operation:

In the last years there were great efforts in Cuba to preserve many of these steam locomotives in museums, you will see some later. Thanks neira-Dan!

A marvellous old locomotive and so good that you were able to find the shot of it operating. Let's hope that something is done to better preserve it.
