Arnaldo Calleja Alonso, mechanical specialist in locomotives of the Enrique Varona railway workshop, in the municipality of Morón, said it hurts to see how the park of this type of machine ends in the country because of the genocidal blockade.

To get an idea of ​​how much damage the US fence has done, in 2007 there were 48 General Motor active in the country, thanks to the inventions and innovations made in the Moronense workshop itself, but today only 18 work, explained Calleja Alonso, all an authority in the knowledge of the parts and pieces of those teams.

Of those of 900 horsepower there is a park in inventory of 27, but they are 13, and of the 20 of 1 200 of power, which were purchased for use in Canada in the years 2002-2003, five remain nothing in operation said the Avilanian sadly.

There are already several machines decommissioned and others awaiting approval and it is a pity to see them in that state, because, not to doubt it, the General Motor are of greater reliability, durability and more resistant and superior technology than the country has acquired after the triumph of the Revolution, said Calleja Alonso, with more than 35 years of experience in these tasks.
