The Camagüeyan or Moronero, so popular for its railway tradition and service at a more advantageous price for passengers, will once again travel between Morón and Camagüey.
There is still a long way to go before the train of the majority passes through stations and intermediate stops, as since January of this year it has been undergoing repairs in the workshops of the city of the rooster.
Tania González Sosa, deputy director of the Union of Railways in the province of Ciego de Ávila, reported that the reopening of the means of transport is scheduled for the first day of October, so work is being done to ensure that there is stability in the material resources for the preparation of the cars that were not in the technical conditions required to run on the railways.
Three of these traction teams are ready and work continues on the other two, in the wagon repair area of the Morón railway workshops, where the contribution of innovators and rationalisers in the remodelling of these means of transport with more than 60 years of operation is decisive.
Now that the Camagüey native has been in a state of rehabilitation for eight months, Loris Martínez Ortiz is now accurately calculating his accounts when he travels to the city of the tinajones to visit his son, grandson, daughter-in-law and other relatives.
«From my village of Pina, in the municipality of Ciro Redondo, located in the centre of the province of Ciego de Avila, my wife and I spend 900.00 pesos each on private transport, and another 150.00 pesos each to travel to the area where our family lives, if we include the cost of eating some light food.
Lowering the cost of social life is also in the thoughts and actions of Morón’s railway workers, protagonists of a centenary productive tradition.
