FC Santa Fe 4-4-0 Locomotives in Argentina
Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media
Class IV (Locobase 3740)
Data from Carlos Alberto Fern+ndez Priotti in Bryan Attewell ([
] Steam Locomotive simulator program (April 2000). Works numbers were 2268-2271, 2306-2312 in 1887
These and the Class III Moguls delivered in the same year from the same builder used the same boiler and cylinders.
