Data from data table entry "F1, Vk6 Pyorasto 0-4-4-T" supplied by Teemu Koivumaki in a 20 January 2022 email that supplied much of the detail in this entry. Works numbers were 511 in 1888 and 1153 in 1898.
The Swiss builder supplied eight Forney-type tank locomotives to three different Finnish railways. These were the only 0-4-4Ts to enter Finnish service. A quartet of Finnish State engines appear in Locobase 20979, an additional pair sent to the Rauman Railway are found in 20981.
Porvoo port lies on Finland's south coast of the Gulf of Finland. The P-K runs from Porvoo west about 39 km (24 miles) to Kerava.
Note the long time between deliveries.
Both P-K Forneys went out of service in February and March 1935, respectively.
