Negros is the biggest sugar island of the Philippines. Up to the 90s the big sugar companies used steam locomotives harvesting the sugar cane. The workers and their families were dreadfully poor and suffering of hunger. Nevertheless these old Iron Horses were a remainder of the machine and industrial age. These pictures are taken during the EDSA Revolution in 1984, techincally on Kodak Ektachrome.
