La Habana Province covers the area surrounding Cuba's capital city in the west of the island. It's relatively hilly country compared to central and eastern parts of the island and had fewer sugar mills but there were some interesting operations with both standard and narrow gauge lines.

Matanzas Province is in western Cuba, occupying an area to the east of the capital, La Habana (Havana). Sugar growing was concentrated in the central and northern parts of the province. The mills here tended to be smaller than many of those further east but were certainly no less interesting.

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.
