Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Vol 79, p. 265. Works number was 61161 in December 1929.
This perky six-wheeler (how else can one describe it?) was about as light-footed as a metre-gauge locomotive might ever get. For all its apparent delicacy, however, the 101 faced some challenges. The length of run on this mining railway based at Porto Alegre was 40 km (25 miles) with the line practically level. Rail weight came in at 20 kg/metre (40 lb/yard), but the track was "poorly supported" and the bridges "very weak". Maximum distance between water plugs was 18 km (11.2 miles).
The 101 would later be sold to the Carbonifera Riograndense and in 1947, apparently exported to the Dominican Republic to run on the Central Barahona as their 5.
