I just returned from doing some reconstruction work in Haiti. That sad and tired country has no working railroads, but I did find what is probably the last locomotive from the sugar plantation railroads that worked there. I know almost nothing about this tired beast except that it now stands in the sugar industry museum near the Port Au Prince airport. Any guesses about who built this engine? I can tell you that it is about 30" guage.
