Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 22, p. 72. Works numbers were 16526-16527 in February 1899.
This small (48.1 km/29.9 mi) narrow gauge line opened in October 1901 to link the Eidsfos Iron Works, located southwest of Oslo, to the main line farther south at Tonsberg. Originally planned for 15 kg/metre (30 lb/yard) rail, increased financing allowed an upgrade to 17.5 kg/meter (35 lb/yard) rail.
Baldwin delivered these two locomotives in time to participate in the line's construction. Once it opened, the TEB proved a hit with tourists who traveled between Oslo and Tonsberg. Reasonably successful for about 20 years, the line suffered from post-World War One inflation in costs and no substantial increase in revenue.
The TEB eventually closed in 1928.
