“Let the railway of Nuevitas be made and the Sun will not deny me its divine light, I assure you.” This is what Gaspar Cisneros Betancourt, El Lugareño, said about the necessity for a railway construction. Thanks to his efforts, The Camagüey Railway was the seventh in the country to become operational, and with this, a long railway tradition began in our city.

Rescuing and disseminating the value system of the railway in Camagüey is the most important mission of the Railway Museum, a project of the Historian’s Office that won the 2018 Excellency Award.
