Data from "The Egyptian Government Railways and Locomotives," The Locomotive Magazine, Vol X (15 November 1904), p. 194. Beyer, Peacock works numbers included 1220-1234, 1266. Boiler pressure is an estimate.
Here is an interesting juxatpostion of sudden need and handy solution. In 1897 the Nile bridge at Embabeh in Cairo was structurally suspect and was placed off limits to the standard freight engines then available to the ERA. After repairs, a cautious view of the result led to the use of light locomotives to pull the train across while the standard locomotives crossed alone.
The light motive power was rented from the sugar railway noted above. A considerable number had been supplied in 1872-1873 by both Beyer, Peacock (of Manchester) and John Fowler (of Leeds). They had the cabbage stacks needed to burn the harvested cane debris that was their principal fuel. The ERA ordered built-for-purpose 0-4-2Ts for this service; see Locobase 10476.
