Dinosaurs Once Roam This Land
Steam locomotives or Iron
Dinosaurs as we call them were used to transport
harvested sugarcane from the fields to the sugar
centrals for milling.
Time has passed over the island
and taken away the experience and left broken tracks
and blocked boilers. The chapter of sugar cane lines
in the Philippines has almost come to an end.

Train relic in Luisita, San Miguel, Tarlac
Uploaded by hilldenny on Jun 2, 2011: The only
information I have found about the train is that it was used back in the
1960s to deliver sugar cane. It's nice that they kept it and put it on
display. I doubt if there are many examples of 60s trains anywhere in
the world. - Just be patient and look the whole video
