Hunting #1 in beautiful Puerto Rico. Visited a fruit plantation that used to be a sugar cane plantation. Looked around old structures but an army of custodial bees prevented us from hunting around them. Found a railroad bed while exiting the plantation and unearthed a few spikes. Many more were left behind due to a heavy rainfall. Will return when weather gets better.

The PR rail system began in the mid-1800s and was then expanded in 1907 by the US mainly used for the sugar cane industry, but also public transportation. It was all abandoned by the 1950s with the advent of the automobiles.

Nice finds from the railway. I found one spike at an old narrow gauge track here a few years ago.

Railway.....definitely THE best way to move cane from field to plant during the day of the big plantations.   The public transport aspect it was probably more of an after thought than anything else---especially if the model used in other plantation areas was followed.

The railroad system here was greatly improved when the Americans took over the sugar cane industry. Glad to own a piece of history. Our railroad system ran around the Island's coasts as expected.
