One of the few mills to remain all steam in 2004, their 30" guage operation is a gem. they have also restored to operation an early 1900 15" Cagney built in NYC.

Okay, is this Cagney being used for amusement rides, is it a privately owned loco, or are they laying a 15" gauge track for sugar cane hauling?!?

Not sure who owns it, but it's been at the mill for a while & restored to operate as a labor of love by the shop crew. They also have a psgr call to pull and laid some 15" rail to run on. Saw it running in Feb 2003. Very popular with visiting railfan groups & the local kids.

Their is another one at the Havana Club Rum museum in old Havana.
