Shipping of Locomotives to EFPP

In 1926, when the “Brazilian Portland Cement Co.” began operations in Perus Mill, they started to acquire their own locomotives to roll on EFPP rails. A series of identical locomotives 2-4-2ST was bought at Alco, starting in 1926, the nr.1. In the following photos, nr.3 and nr.4 are being shipped to Brazil via NYC flat cars. Nr.3 was shipped in 1926 and nr.4 in 1929.

Note the small size of the loco, compared with the flat car. Both photos Alco Historical Society, collection of Nilson Rodrigues
