SPOTLIGHT: 108 (BALDWIN 52937 OF 1920) - BACOLOD (NEGROS OCC)

 

The third locomotive on our Bacolod visit was to be Baldwin #108 from the Central Azucarera de La Carlota mill.

We turned up at the entrance to Panaad Park, only to be told the place was closed. This was a little bit disappointing as the locomotive was less than a minute or two away, and time was in limited supply on the trip.

Just in case, a few photos was taken from the fence (below) which was obtained with a small tele lens.

If visiting, it is probably worth noting that the park is open from 4am - 9am and 4pm - 8pm seven days a week.

Unusual times for a park to be open, but if you arrive outside of these hours the image above is still possible.

I think she still regrets letting me name the twins.
