Data from Eric V Snall, "Recent Swedish Locomotives", The Locomotive Magazine, Vol VI (November 1901), p. 188. Works numbers were 541-544 in 1899.
This quartet opened passenger service for the newly built narrow-gauge VGJ in 1899.
All four remained on the roster when the VGJ finally joined the national Statens Jarnvagar in 1948. Their age, small size, and non-electric power system led to their retirement and scrapping in 1953-1954.
