Data from Alco class 460 74 Order S-1300 builder's card supplied in February 2023 by Teemu Koivumaki. Works numbers were 61550-61551, 61554 in March 1920.
(Note: Locobase uses Alco's version of the buyer's name. Other variants are Humberto Savoia and Humberto Saboya.)
At the same Alco produced the two Consolidations for this Brazillian railroad construction company (Locobase 21119), it also turned out this trio of wood-burning Ten-wheelers. The fuel required the use of a basket-shaped spark-arresting stack and wood racks on the tender capable of holding three cords.
