Sugar and steam: An engine with an unusual tale

By Penny Barron

Picton is an engine whose journey began in the Yorkshire city of Leeds, where it can still be seen today.
Her adventures began when, as a young engine fresh from the workshop, she was transported out to Trinidad on board a ship to work on the sugar plantations. She laboured underneath the hot sun, rocking to the rhythms of Calypso and fell in love with music. Then one day everything changed again. You'll have to read it to find out what that is.
