The Train of the South — or Tren del Sur in Spanish — is a historic narrow gauge heritage railroad operating within the U.S. commonwealth of Puerto Rico in Arroyo.〔(Puerto Rico Railroad ) Informational site regarding the Tren del Sur.〕〔Travel & Sports: Puerto Rico (Tren del Sur de Arroyo )〕 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.〔(PuertoRico.com Article ) Arroyo tourism details and information about the Tren del Sur.〕 ==Overview== The railroad took passengers and sightseers across Arroyo's old sugar cane fields on a fifty-minute long guided tour that explained the industry and other historic aspects of it.〔〔 Most of the original railroad right-of-way is former Ponce & Guayama trackage, which was in regular use up until 1958; a short segment was later revived as the Tren del Sur in 1984.〔(PRFROGUI.com – Arroyo ) El Tren del Sur 〕 Much of the original equipment abandoned on site also served as historic props along the route. In 2005, the railroad was temporarily shutdown pending a major restoration project; although all work has been halted in recent years afterwards for unknown reasons.〔〔 However, the Department of the Interior has plans to re-commission the railroad and extend the system further sometime in the near future.〔(Government of Puerto Rico ) State Historic Conservation Plan, 2006-2010 〕
