===Origins===
Built in the 1910s by the Hershey chocolate company, the line originally linked Havana to the company's sugar mills and the town of Matanzas. Following the Cuban Revolution, the line was nationalized and absorbed into the national railway system (Ferrocarriles de Cuba) and the Hershey town was renamed to Camilo Cienfuegos. The original 1920s US-built cars were eventually replaced with secondhand electric cars from Barcelona, Spain in the 1990s.

Hurricane Irma dealt a major blow to the railway in 2017, severely damaging the overhead electrical infrastructure and halting most services.

While rehabilitation efforts have been sporadically proposed, equipment shortages and widespread issues with the broader electrical grid have made it impossible to fully restore the full Havana-to-Matanzas route.
