Description
The FTT class 02 makes up the family of 3 series of 4-2-2 express locomotives that circulated in Patagon between 1870s and 1931, built in 1921 to give direct competition to a new and revolutionary 4-4-2 streamlined cab-forward construction by the Maestranza de Saint Williams. SALCo in response created this 4-2-2 3-cylinder. trying to break the 4-4-2 record, but failing. becoming a locomotive that would open the new southern line between Navegantes and Saint Balmaceda. working on this line until 1931. when it was removed and modernized. Thus in 1954 most of them were scrapped except for 3 locomotives. the 899, 901 and 894. Their wheels measure 2.54 meters. height of 4.60 meters. length of 21 meters and track width of 1676mm.
