E Cunhal & Cia, Ltda 2-8-2 Locomotives in Brazil


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 333 (Locobase 15402)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University,Vol 78, pp. 262+. Works number was 58548 in July 1925.

See Locobase 15397 for a description of this design. These and several others shown in Locobse 15396 were built as parts of a large order of locomotives for the Sao Paulo Rio Grande.

The 333 was numbered in the SPRG sequence, it would soon join that railway's roster.
