Locomotive 1205 is displayed in a park area near the main railway terminus (Havana Central Station/Cristina Station). It was built in 1905 by H.K. Porter Inc of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, construction number: 3345.
"It served for approximately a century at the Central Toledo sugar mill (later renamed the Manuel MartÃnez Prieto mill following the Cuban Revolution), where it was designated as No. 6.
"While it has been painted and restored for display, it is missing some original components such as internal plumbing, its bell, and certain decorative jewelry." (via Google Earth)
