Re: A day with 2'6'' gauge 2-8-0 number 1320 hauling sugar cane

No classic car was harmed at this crossing as 1320 continued switching.
Leaving Portrerillo, trains encounter two long grades that give loaded trains (normally 10 loaded cane cars and a caboose) a serious work out.
About half way back to the mill, just before crossing a stream, 1320 made a water stop at a "standpipe"
