Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media
Class 1 (Locobase 15162)
Data from DeGolyer, Vol 66, pp. 321. See also an account of the dismantling of Castle Hill at [
], last accessed 29 April 2013. Works numbers were 55339-55342 in April 1922.
Leonard Kennedy & company purchased these saddle tanks to shift the 184,000 square metres (898,000 sq ft or 20.6 acres) of Castle Hill out of the center of Rio de Janeiro. The contractor began work on the project in 1922. The quartet of 0-6-0STs moved earth as the excavators
