Las Villas Province covered a large part of central Cuba and included many cane growing areas, with around 50 active mills at the peak of sugar production in the 1980s. Railway operations varied from small narrow gauge systems to large mills with extensive standard gauge networks and ex-main line locos.

Camagüey Province occupied a large area of eastern Cuba and included some very productive sugar growing areas, particularly in the south and west, around the towns of Ciego de Avila and Florida. Mills here tended to be large and widely spaced with extensive standard gauge railway systems.

Oriente was the easternmost of the Cuban provinces with several fairly isolated pockets of sugar production. Its mills were amongst the least visited by enthusiasts, apart from one, Rafael Freyre, a superb narrow gauge system in the hilly country near the north coast resort of Guardalavaca.
