Vanishing Steam in Cuba

Greg Nazarow will offer us a slide show compiled from 2 legal trips to Cuba in 2001 and 2003. The program will include visits to about a dozen mills and their locomotive shops, some vintage automobiles and some views of operations on the national railway, FCC. Anticipate a visit to the world's greatest accidental museum, where time has almost stood still since 1959. Greg graduated from Tufts in 1983 with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, and from Babson College in 1989 with a MBA. In 1991, he started doing waybilling, car accounting, marketing studies, etc., with Walt Stapleton of Claremont, NH. He is currently Director of (Rail) Operations Analysis for SYSTRA Consulting in Lebanon, NH. SYSTRA'S world headquarters is in Paris, France. The company engages in railway and rail transit consulting engineering work all over the world.
