Industrial E de F de Perus-Pirapora 2-4-0 Locomotives in Brazil


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class Dr Jambeiro (Locobase 13866)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Volume 39, pp. 237 and Volume 44, p. 190. Works number was 37570 in March 1912 and 39061 in January 1913.

The Brazilian Portland Cement Corporation bought this very small six-wheeler for a very narrow gauge whose main cargo was cement. A duplicate named Dr Sylvio de Campos (#4) followed in the next year.

See Locobase 13867 for a description of the P-P.
