    The Haitian Sugar Train

    Always loved sugar trains, sugar beets are a local industry here and their attempts to ship raw ones by rail have been less than successful. Outgoing product is still shipped bulk by hoppers though. I just ordered an 0-4-2 Porter myself, yours looks very good painted up :thumb:
