Unspecified 2-6-0 Locomotives in Colombia


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class Colombia (Locobase 14197)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 49, p 124. Works number was 33963 in October 1909.

Locobase can't pin down just which railroad operated this tiny little Mogul, but it was obviously lightly built. The specs implore the builder to "try to make weight less than 37,000 lb."
