Government sends water by train to drought-stricken
area
HAVANA, Cuba - April 22 (Reinaldo Cosano
Alén, Lux Info Pres / www.cubanet.org)
- Government officials have assigned a train
to deliver water to several municipalities
in Holguín province that have been
suffering from an extended drought for months.
The train consists of an ancient locomotive
and eight cars with a capacity for about
13,000 gallons each. It attempts to service
the municipalities of Calixto García,
Cacocún, Urbano Noris, and Holguín.
Townspeople, however, complain about the
unreliability of the train's arrival. They
point out the locomotive breaks down frequently
due primarily to its age, and to the low
priority the train is given in the use of
the rails.
