Hacienda Fe, Naguabo. (meter)

Hacienda Fe was the property of Gustavo Preston. He purchased a Porter #4811 in 1910, a small 0-4-0 saddletank locomotive, meter gauge. There is little information about the property which was located just northwest of Naguabo on the Rio Blanco. There was a very small mill, and the owner’s fields were the primary source of cane. For financial reasons, the mill closed by 1914. The locomotive would later be sold to Central Machete.  Dave Deyo.
