The Cuban National Railway is the primary rail transport system in Cuba, established in the 19th century. It connects major cities and regions across the island, facilitating the movement of passengers and goods. The railway network plays a crucial role in the country's economy and transportation infrastructure. The railway system includes both narrow and standard gauge tracks, with services operated by Ferrocarriles de Cuba. Despite facing challenges such as aging infrastructure and limited funding, efforts are ongoing to modernize and improve the railway services for better efficiency and safety.
