Data from [
], last accessed 30 November 2008.
Three locomotives were supplied as war reparations in kind for losses suffered by the Portuguese during World War One. Notice the square cylinder dimensions.
They served the Vale do Vouga for about 50 years , then transferred to Porto and soon scrapped. (E 133 in May 1976, E 131 in 1982.)
