Cueto, Cuba: Carahatas are a hybrid truck or bus that runs on RR tracks. They are a part of the Cuban transportation system serving remote communities as the country is crisscrossed with RR tracks to carry sugar cane stalks from the fields to the mills where they are processed into raw sugar.

Cuba is a country of innovative transportation solutions.


This pig carrier is used daily by a vendor who sets out everyday touring neighborhoods in Holguin with another pig for sale. When he sells the pig, his work day is over.

Transportation need not be wheeled. This local picks up his kids from school via horseback as they live out in the country.

Some people live out in the country on muddy roads so there must be mass transit to suit their needs to come into town to shop. These tractor powered wagons also take people who live in town out into the country where they are agricultural workers.

^^^ Moldova!

Peter, I'm starting to think that you're some kind of retired 007 type spy!

BTW, that's a great shot.

Out to Lunch, on Flickr




Out to Lunch, on Flickr. Soviet-era hydrofoils of the so-called Meteor class on the Saigon River. They shuttled between Saigon and the coastal
resort town of Vung Tau. Very fast but decommissioned a few years ago. Bach Dang jetty in downtown Saigon, 2012 and 2009.

Simi streets are mostly stairways, so the donkeys are indispensible.
One of these days I'll get around to doing some proper scans of that long ago trip's photos.

If you get your timing right after crossing the Mersey on the ferry from Liverpool you can take this tram into the town centre.

Pretty classy transportation, Mike! The owner must be very proud of this excellent well-kept MG Midget. Shiny BRG paint job, wire wheels, even Lucas headlights! Great find...
