Data from DeGolyer, Vol 79, pp. 295+ and pp. 299+. Works number were 60182 in September 1927 and 61872 in August 1935.
The 2 was later sold to the Guayaquil a Quito as their 45 and 4 was renumbered 17 by the G a Q.
See Locobase 948 for the superheated sister to this engine.
Data from a table in 1947 Locomotive Cyclopedia. Works number was 73065 in 1946.
The railway measured 110 kilometres (70 miles) between the two Ecuadorian towns and took 57 years to build. By the time this locomotive was delivered, construction had reached Azogues.
