Amusement park-like Alco 0-4-0, possibly built in 1944. What gauge? This company's successor still has a sugar factory in Vancouver. Assuming this was a cane sugar operation, it would be interesting what they did there. Sugar cane is bulky and it is a long way to the Caribbean. Guessing they may have refined raw sugar or molasses arriving by boat into white sugar or other sweeteners.
