Sao Luiz a Caxias 2-6-0 Locomotives in Brazil


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class unknown (Locobase 14206)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Volume 49, pp. 143. Works numbers were 40443-40444 in August 1913.

Although each of these two Moguls had an additional axle, they were in fact smaller and less powerful than the 0-4-2T tanks described in Locobase 14204.
