Borringe-Ostratcorp 2-6-0 Locomotives in Sweden


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class Jordberga (Locobase 12005)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 17, p. 151. Works number was 12341in October 1891.

According to a Swedish response to an inquiry in Trains and Travel (Volume 13, 1952, p. 72), this was the first American-built locomotive in Sweden. The BOJ (J for Jarnvagar) later transformed into the Ysta line, which became the Malmo-Ystad Jarnvagar.
