Description
this is only 1 of the 2 classes of 4-2-2 locomotives that existed in patagon, both were experimental. built in 1884 to unite Saint Williams, Rodelillo and Saint Anibal. the locomotives were designed to have 4 pistons instead of the then common 2 pistons. This gave it greater driving force and better performance. To save material, the interior of the tender's bunker and the cabin were made of wood. An abundant material in Patagonia until today, in 1899 their service was terminated. since they were very old. and because they had recently won a war. These locomotives were discarded very quickly, only 1 locomotive was preserved, in 1901 locomotive number 240 was bought by the Catholic University of Patagon (UCP) today it is on display in front of the main entrance of the University. its wheels measure 2 meters, height of 3.90 meters. length of 11 meters and rail gauge of 1676mm. 10 locomotives were built, only 1 is preserved
