Noroeste 2-4-0 Locomotives in Brazil


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 101 (Locobase 13300)

Data fromBaldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Volume 44, p. 125-126. See Locobase 13126 for a full account and bibliography of the construction of this railroad. Works number was 33070 in December 1908.

Little 6-wheelers like the 101 were uncommon even on narrow-gauge common carriers, but the Northwestern of Brazil wanted at least one wood-burner of that size.
