What a storied history, working on the Panama Canal. So built in the USA, shipped down south, then back to the USA and surviving to be on a tourist railroad. I never heard of this line before and will have to look up its history.
This video is of a day in the last season of steam operations. A state-mandated boiler rebuild shut the locomotive down, according to Wikipedia. Beginning in 2002 I was aware of only the railroad's SW-1 diesel in use on the railroad.
