Rolling Into The Weekend Like...

SERIES:

 

New series continuing from last week's post. If you guessed a train station, you were absolutely correct. There's a lot more on the property than just the train. There is the old plantation house, the museum as well as the distillery. On this occasion, we are only dealing with the newest attraction, which is the train.

 

Last time, we saw the engineers. So now, here comes the train! This German built locomotive comes from the Statfold Barn Railway and Engineering who had saved the locomotive from a sugar plantation in Java in 2009. "Tjepper No. 5 was built in 1914 by Arnold Jung Lokomotivfabrik in Germany is a powerful articulated locomotive (to manoeuvre tight radii) of the “mallet” design having four steam cylinders driving 8 wheels.".
