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
