Aguas Blancas 0-6-2 Locomotives in Bolivia


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class Iquique (Locobase 20205)

Data from Catalogue 10036-Locomotives for Export (New York City: American Locomotive Company, 1910), pp. 90-91. Works numbers were 6270-6271 in February 1905.

Ordered by W R Grace for this Chilean-Bolivian railway, this pair of radial saddle tanks received the highest two builder's numbers from Rogers before Alco officially took over the works. In fact, they were delivered as Alco products.
