Guáimaro, Nov. 18 - Workers from the Base Business Unit (UEB) of Guáimaro Quarries have produced over 2,500 m³ of ballast and rubble in just over a week for the repair and subsequent connectivity of the railway lines in the eastern part of the country, which were affected by Hurricane Melissa.
According to Pablo Núñez Cuba, the director of the entity, the equivalent of six trains has been loaded with this type of stone, which is essential for maintaining the safe operation of trains, in addition to 950 m³ coming from Santi Espíritus, from the Arriete quarry.
"The direct production workers continue to work despite the harsh weather conditions and the current energy situation in the country," Núñez Cuba added, noting that they are committed to providing the necessary material for the provinces in need for the repairs of the railway lines affected by landslides from the floods.
This UEB belongs to the Union of Railroads of Cuba (UFC) and is subordinated to the industrial company of fixed installations based in the province of Santa Clara. Its social purpose is the production of ballast for the repair and construction of Cuban railway lines. (Photo courtesy of the author)
