Hello, I can help. I lived in Puerto Rico for eight years, four in Ponce, and four in San German. I am half Puerto Rican, but I am not a Boricua. I have managed in that time to have seen almost every town on the island at least once. I don't know many facts about the railroad except that Arroyo is the place to learn. The railroad was built in the Roosevelt days to haul sugar cane. By the fifties sugar cane was no longer able to support the railroad because sugar beets were cheaper to use for the making of sugar. The railroad ran from San Juan west to Isabela, then south to Mayaguez, San German, then east to Guayanilla, Guanica, Ponce, Juana Dias, Santa Isabel, Salinas, Cuomo, Patillas, and Arroyo. If you go to Guanica, there are the remnants of a train yard, and port facilities. In Ponce, down at the water front there are tracks in the streets of an old wherehouse district, and an old SW-1 switches tank cars on a car ferry. There is much more that I can tell you, but I have to go right now !!
