Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 7 (Locobase 15417)

Data from DeGolyer, Vol 79, pp. 113+. Works number was 60681 in October 1928.

The Este was built on 60 lb/yard (30 kg/metres) on a profile that featured grades "not over 3%" and curve radii of 197 feet (60 metres) or 29 degrees.

Wes Barris's steamlocomotive.com notes that the 7 was eventually put on display in the Parque de las Ciencias in Bayamón..
