Cuba, Hershey 703, 20. 11. 2022

            CZ: Dne 20. 11. 2022 byl v obci Hershey zachycen elektrický vůz 703, který míjí výhybkářské stanoviště nedaleko zastávky Paradero Chucho 3 a směřuje do cílové stanice Talleres Calle 7.
Železnice "Hershey", vedoucí z Havany do Matanzasu, je jedinou elektrickou železnicí na Kubě spolu s odbočkou do města Jaruco. Byla vystavěna v letech 1917 a 1918 pro dopravu cukrové třtiny a produktů do cukrovaru v Hershey, který se jmenoval po svém zakladateli. Cukrovar byl uzavřen v roce 2002 po nevydařené restrukturalizaci kubánského cukrovarnictví, železnice však fungovala dál. V roce 2017 bylo trakční vedení poničeno hurikánem Irma a provoz již nebyl obnoven. Jediný provozní úsek, který se dožil roku 2022, je Hershey–Jaruco.
Vůz číslo 703 byl vyroben v roce 1964 a dodán španělské společnosti Ferrocarriles de Cataluña S.A. (FCC) v Katalánsku. V roce 1989 byl přestavěn na vložený vůz bez stanovišť strojvedoucího. V roce 1998 bylo celkem 27 vozů dopraveno ze Španělska na Kubu, aby zajistily provoz právě na elektrické železnici Hershey z Havany do Matanzasu. Vůz opět obdržel stanoviště strojvedoucího, což obnášelo zaslepení čelních dveří vozu.
Dne 8. června 2023 postihla vůz nehoda, kdy se na něj zřítil dřevěný sloup trakčního vedení. Po nehodě vůz již není provozní.

The "Hershey" railway from Havana to Matanzas is the only electric railway in Cuba. It was built in 1917 and 1918 to transport sugar cane and products to the sugar refinery in Hershey, named after its founder. The sugar mill closed in 2002 after the failed restructuring of the Cuban sugar industry, but the railway continued to operate. In 2017, the catenary was damaged by Hurricane Irma and operations were not restored. The only operating section that survived to 2022 is the Hershey-Jaruco.
Car number 703 was built in 1964 and delivered to Ferrocarriles de Cataluña S.A. (FCC) in Catalonia, Spain. In 1998, a total of 27 cars were transported from Spain to Cuba to operate on the Hershey electric railway from Havana to Matanzas.
On June 8, 2023, the car had an accident when a wooden power line pole collapsed on it. After the accident, the car is no longer operational.
