A new graphic from 1882 has come to light at Wiki:

or rather:

This coloured engraving / print was actually on display in Sunbury Plantation
House. It was photographed skewed to avoid light reflections. Then the image
was straightened using IfanView and the free Adobe 8BF plugin 'perspective'.

There is the briefest glimpse of a train in the 1930s film 'Windmill in
Barbados.'

Does anyone know what the engine is and where it was built? It would have been
to the original 3'6" gauge.
