The Iron Dinosaur Train No. 13 is a 99-year-old steam locomotive built in 1925 by Baldwin Locomotive Works in the USA and used by Victorias Milling Company to transport sugarcane. It stands 9 feet tall, weighs 18 tons, and runs on steam powered by bagasse, a sugar mill waste. The train was important for moving harvested sugarcane from farms to mills and also served as a local transportation mode connecting plantations. Although the train is now a static display, it faces deterioration due to exposure to weather and lack of formal preservation funding. Community efforts keep it accessible for education and tourism, but more official conservation support is needed to protect this rare industrial heritage asset.
