The Train of the South — or Tren del Sur in Spanish — is a historic 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) narrow gauge heritage railroad operating within the U.S. commonwealth of Puerto Rico in Arroyo.[1][2] It was formed in 1984 to preserve the last surviving sugar cane plantation line still in existence on the entire island, which was part of a large railroad system that operated around Puerto Rico prior to the 1950s.[3][4]
