Habana Northern Railroad & Navigation Company
is a small company that operated a ferry line connecting Florida to Cuba in the year 1935.
The ferry Habana Northern II was built in plasticard from original plans for a ferry crossing the Great Lakes. The apron which allows the loading of wagons is also scratch built from a model which equipped the Lake Michigan. Northern Habana II is fitted with an electronic reproduction of a steam horn. The original sound was recorded on the last steam ferry still in use today (the BADGER that ensures the crossing Manitowoc-Ludington on Lake Michigan).

Take a look at this video of the Habana Northern: http://www.railtv.fr/players/runvideo.aspx?Id=4130
