Hershey Electric Railway, Electric railway line in Casablanca, Cuba.
The railway extends 92 kilometers between Casablanca in Havana and Matanzas, featuring multiple stations and four operational branches.
Milton S. Hershey established this railway in 1917 to transport sugar from his mill in Santa Cruz del Norte to the Havana port.
The electric railway represents Cuba's industrial development, connecting communities and supporting sugar production throughout the northern coastal region.
Three daily trains operate in each direction, with the complete journey from Havana to Matanzas taking approximately three and a half hours.
The line remains the only electric railway in Cuba, operating with train cars acquired from Catalonia's railway system in the 1990s.
