Glad you made it back okay Dale. You pretty much summed up what was reported on Rob Dickinsons site. I posted the link while you were gone I believe. Generally the regular service days of Cuba Sugar cane are nearly done for steam as you said. Whats left is what a railfan friend of mine calls "Porno Steam". That is its available for charters, fake freights, tourist trains, and whatever cash you can spend, but the REAL freight stuff is a shadow of its former self unfortunately. Link below will take you to Dickensons site with Cuba mill reports, etc.
