Brush Type 4s to Cuba

[The Crab]

Ten BT4 derivatives were supplied to Cuba in the 60s. Anyone know how long they lasted?

According to this website, all were withdrawn by February 1992. Nothing more specific that I can see though.

What is known is that all of the machines were withdrawn from service by February 1992 and dumped at Cardenas where several were known to be extant in 1997, and possibly as late as 2000. Photographs show a large square hole cut into the bodyside at the number one end, close to the main cooling group, that was certainly not there originally; this may have been done to salvage small parts. It appears that all ten machines have now been cut-up.

Thank you. I should have thought to look there.
