            US Sugar 4-6-2 148 is on an excursion train leaving Lake Placid, Florida on an excursion leading the train back to Clewiston. She was built in April 1920 by American Locomotive Company (ALCO) for Florifa East Coast Railway. She hauled passengers and freight trains on the FEC's Overseas Railroad to Key West, Florida until the line was destroyed in 1935. The locomotive was then sold in 1952 to US Sugar Corporation (USSC) to haul sugarcane trains in and around Clewiston, Florida.

U.S. Sugar Corporation is a privately owned agricultural business based in Clewiston, Florida. The company farms over 230,000 acres of land in Hendry, Glades, Martin, and Palm Beach counties.
