Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class WSABP Typ Cn2t (Locobase 21261)

Warszawska Spólka Akcyjna Budowy Parowozów (WSABP) works numbers were 61 in 1927; 124-125, 128 in 1928, 252 in 1930, and 369 in 1931.

Built by a small comp;any in Warsaw, this six-coupled sextet's career began with the first engine joining the Polish State Railways (PKP) as their C3. It did not set the standard for the other five as it traveled on a 750 mm (29.5") gauge, weighed 700 kg (1,543 lb) more empty, had a shorter wheelbase (1,600 mm), but larger water and bunker capacity.

Four of the other five went to the same industrial operator, a cement factory in Grodziec. The last of the six served a sugar factory.

Limited etails on their histories yield only that the last industrial locomotive went cold in 1975.
