Data from Alco class 460-81 Order C-555 builder's card supplied in February 2023 by Teemu Koivumaki.. Works numbers were 60510-60511 in June 1919.
A decade after Alco turned out a trio of Ten-wheelers for the Timbo a Propia (Locobase 20191), its Paterson, NJ subsidiary produced another two for the T-A to the same specifications. Its operator was a new coal road in Santa Catharina state built by the Brazilian government and leased to the Cia Brasiliera Carbonifera de Ararangua.
