Data from "Antofagasta (Chili) And Bolivia Railway, Metre Gauge, Sixteen 4-8-2 Type Locomotives," Vulcan Foundry Company Magazines, Vol 3, No. 3 (Autumn 1954), pp. 16-18. See also Martin Coombs, Chilean steam locomotive list, Part 3-Metre Gauge (March 2022), downloaded [], p. 165.Works numbers were 6176-6183, 6168-6169 in 1954.
Oil-burning and fitted with Belpaire fireboxes, this class of Mountains were designed to negotiate curves with radii as small as 75 metres (246 feet). Ten of the engines went to the Bolivian section, six to the Chilean section (Locobase 14478)..
The ten engines that entered service in Bolivia remained active into the 1970s. They were joined at some point by EFE locomotives 201 and 206.
NB: Tube length is an estimate based on the calculated tube and flue heating surface areas and a further calculation using the known counts and diameters of the two sizes of flues.
