Overview:
Locomotive #34 of the American Railroad, one of the first American locomotives ever brought to the island of Puerto Rico to work on the recently acquired Ferrocarriles de Puerto Rico (Railroads of Puerto Rico). The company was later renamed the American Railroad of Puerto Rico. Most Puerto Rican Locomotives have "American Railroad" written on their tenders, and the letters A.R.R. on their cabs. This locomotive almost looks like it came out of the old west, with the big baloon stack, and the oil burning headlamps, it is one of my favorite Puerto Rican locomotives.
