PORT PASTELILLO The Cuba Railroad port and terminal is located at Pastelillo Point, a distance of three miles from Nuevitas. It is reached by boat or train from Xuevitas, and trains of the Puerto Principe & Xuevitas Railroad (The Cuba Railroad) proceed from Nuevitas to destination at Port Pastelillo. The facilities here consist of two loading and unloading docks which will berth eight steamers. At the outer end of one dock is 22 feet of water which runs down to- 20 feet at the lower inside, and approximately the same depth of water is found- at the other pier. Dredging operations are under way to deepen at one berth to 24 feet. In addition to these two docks is a pipe line dock for handling oil and molasses cargoes. The channel to this port is 26 feet in depth. There will be five large warehouses with capacity for sugar storage of 480,000 bags, when the work of additional construction is complete, and in addition two bonded warehouses on the docks for incoming freight. There will also be three large oil storage tanks for the Texas Company, Sinclair-Cuba Company and West India Oil Company, and four molasses storage tanks. The docks are equipped with two tracks which provide for loading and discharging alongside steamers. Two main line tracks with numerous sidings extend from the Point into Nuevitas station. This is an extensive development and has been a costly one owing to the exca- vation necessary, as the entire point has been cut down to water level. PORT TARAFA This new terminal development for the North Coast Railroad () at the port of Nuevitas is progressing rapidly and the work of dredging channels and constructing warehouses is continuing without interruption.

There is a depth of water at either pier of n
