There can't be too many connections between the Wichita Falls railroads of the early 20th Century and this former military railroad on the big Caribbean island. So it's coincidence probably brought about by similar requirements that led to Baldwin's duplicating the 1909 Consolidations for the Kansas roads (see Locobases 13323-13324) in response to the Cuban railroad's order.
When the J a M was completed in 1872, it linked the two cities over 68 km (42 miles). The line of fortifications it served were regarded as the most substantial in all of 19th Century Cuba.
