Staatsspoorweg ter Sumatra's Westkust 2-6-0 Locomotives in Indonesia
Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media
Class C33 (Locobase 4743)
Although the first of these Mogul tanks arrived in 1891, the class continued to grow throughout the 1890s and on into the new century. It's not clear just how many were procured.
