This locomotive is one of the 5 surviving steam locomotive that originally belonged to the original Puerto Rico railroad. This engine use to go around the island from the south to the north, where it usually take a day to travel. This engine use to pull passenger train and sometimes pulled the sugar cane wagons as well.
Like the rest of the steam locomotives, this engine was replaced by a diesel and was pushed aside. It was decided that the engine should be displayed by one of the original train station in 1968 and be an outdoor display. Sadly, we all know that there shouldn’t be an outdoor display for a train due to nature causing it to deteriorate.
Despite its years being displayed outside, this locomotive had survived dangerous hurricanes, such as hurricane George, Irma and maria, the only thing that collapsed of this locomotive is it’s cab. Let’s hope that in future, this locomotive can be restored and placed inside a museum so it can be kept safe condition. Like the other 4 steam locomotives of Puerto Rico.

This locomotive belonged to the Pasto Viejo sugar mill in Humacao which is on the east side of the island. It was one of 2 10-22E-110 locomotives ordered for the mill. It worked on transport sugar from the fields to the mill. The mill’s railroad was renamed to the Eastern Sugar Associates Railroad and was re-lettered. After the ESA merged with the Fajardo Development Company railroad it became Fajardo-Eastern Associates #7. Later on in the 1960’s the railroad was merged with various other cane railroads by C. Brewer PR. The locomotive last ran under steam in 1967. In 1968 it was placed on display in Levittown while it’s twin was purchased by Jorge Wirshing and later became the main locomotive at Wirshing’s railroad park. The #7 was used for a documentary of the railroad history in 1983. Since then it has remained in the same spot ever since.
