Central Cambalache Viaduct, Arecibo. John W. Barriger III photo. Barriger Library, St. Louis Mercantile Library at the University of Missouri St. Louis. <http://www.flickr.com/photos/barrigerlibrary/12292652576/in/set-72157640461367106>. There were two track gauges at Central Cambalache: 30 inches and meter gauge. The American Railroad was meter gauge.
Este viaducto era bastante ancho ya que por debajo pasaba la línea principal de la A.R.R.Co. paralela a un ramal del ferrocarril de la Central Cambalache. Justo antes de la entrada este del viaducto (km.81.340) había un desvío que conectaba las vías de la A.R.R.Co con el Ramal Cambalache que llegaba al batey de la central. Las vías de la A.R.R.Co. eran de 1 metro de ancho y las de Cambalache de 30 pulgadas, por lo que este ramal tuvo 3 rieles para tener los dos anchos de vía. Al oeste del viaducto al lado sur de la vía se encontraba la estación Cambalache. Quiero darle las gracias a Héctor Ruiz, por haber identificado la foto antígua del viaducto de Cambalache.

They had a siding for
receiving molasses and coal or oil for burning, but did not receive any cane by rail. I believe from interviews I conducted around the mill, that they may have shipped some of their rum by rail in the earlier years of operation, but later went to trucks only. Cane arrived at the mill by truck.” Dave Deyo email, 27 Feb. 2014.
