Victorias Milling Company 0-8-0 Locomotives in Philippines


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 3 (Locobase 15407)

Data from DeGolyer, Vol 78, pp. 356. See also a listing of Sugar Centrals in the Philippines in the American Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines Journal (January 1922), p. 30. Works number was 58473 in June 1925.

The track gauge tells us all about this many-wheeled wood-burning plantation eight-coupled locomotive. It put relatively little weight on its axles, had nearly square cylinders, and sported a small spark-arresting Rushton Improved cabbage stack.
