Canton-Hankow 4-6-0 Locomotives in China


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class unknown (Locobase 13444)

Data from "Recent Baldwin Locomotives for Export", Railway Gazette, Volume 61, No. 11 (15 September 1916), p. 465-466. See also DeGolyer, Volume 60, pp. 180. Works numbers were 43651-43654 in July 1916.

The Canton-Hankow took delivery of ten locomotives in 1916, all with Belpaire fireboxes. Unlike the 2-8-0s (Locobase 13443), the 4-6-0s had their grates located inside the frames. They had 11" (179 mm) piston valves.

See Locobase 13445 for the two 0-6-0s.
