Tren del Sur – Ferrocarril de Turismo / Tourist Railroad

Plymouth #18.

Sunday, 1999-Jul-04. The tourist train at Arroyo. Visited on Independence Day, so this was maybe the reason why it was running. The train with engine #18 made only a single trip in the morning, the afternoon train got cancelled due to engine problems. This is also the reason why there are no pictures from the outside of the train running though the sugar cane fields (I had planned to do exactly this). Andreas Foedrowitz.

Plymouth #14.

There were 5 Plymouth locos, only one was serviceable (well, at least in the morning …)… The engine numbers were 14, 15, 16, 17?, and 18. Andreas Foedrowitz.

This railroad operated on the Ponce & Guayama RR, P&GRR. It usually operated from next to Central Lafayette in Arroyo, eastern part of the P&GRR to Guayama near Branderi and/or route 710. It did make some trips further west to Central Aguirre, Salinas and Central Mercedita in Ponce.
