Main efforts have been carried out in the first half of this tear, he told Prensa Latina.
He recalled that the national program of rehabilitation of the railroad infrastructure started last year and its first stage will run through 2013.
"We have repaired the worst stretches of the Central Line, 835 km long, in eastern, central and western Cuba, as well as other main roads along with members of the enthusiastic Youth Labor Army," he said.
Morales said that this repair work will contribute to substantially increase the speed of trains and accomplish their scheduled itineraries in transporting passengers and cargo.
