. The Cuba review. THE CUBA REVIEW 19 in each direction between Port Tarafa and Falla, beyond Moron, and four freight and combination trains from Port Tarafa to Ciego de Avila by way of the Jucaro & Moron Railroad from A 50,000 Gallon Oil Tank for Cuban Central Railway at Cienfuegos, Sold to Sinclair Oil Company. CRUDE OIL AS A FACTOR IN CANE PRODUCTION Crude oil, which has been introduced very extensively in the United States and Europe as a factor in the production of steam, has found its place in the Island of Cuba among the sugar centrals and railroads, where its adoption is meeting with great sviccess, and the only question is that of a sufficient supply to meet the ever increasing demand. Sugar centrals whose locomotives for- merly burned coal are converting these locomotives into oil-bunilng locomotives for two reasons. First, oil is more eco- nomical to use than coal, being about one-third or one-half as expensive, and second, for the very important reason that the oil-burning locomotives cannot drop cinders along the roadbed, as do the coal-burning locomotives. This defect of the coal-burning locomotives has been the c&psg Qt man^ fires, involving great losses. The crude oil is brought to Cuban ports in large tank steamers and shipped inland in tank cars to the centrals and railroad shops where it is stored in elevated tanks for the railroads and ground level tanks for the centrals. The accompanying photographs have been furnished through the courtesy of the Casey-Hedges Company of Chatta- nooga, Tenn., who are the Cuban repre- sentatives of the Chicago Bridge and Iron Works, manufacturers of these oil tanks. The Sinclair-Cuban Oil Company, with headquarters in New York, are carrying out a very extensive program for the fur- nishing of crude oil to the Island of Cuba. The Texas Company and the West India.
