Posted by: Steve Frost, European Editor on Nov 24, 2024 @ 12:11:32
On the face of it, there appears to be duplication with a loco with identical details at Dong Anh. Either the details for one of them are incorrect or there is duplication, but if so, which is the correct location?

Nacional de Mexico 0-8-0T No. 639 (402)

Posted by: Steve Frost, European Editor on Nov 24, 2024 @ 12:11:20
The locomotive is clearly a tank loco. but also not a rack equipped loco - the only rack railway in Mexico was the 2 foot 6 inches gauge Mapimi Railroad in Durango State.

According to www.internationalsteam.co.uk, it has a long history of rebuilds. originally supplied as a 36" gauge 2-8-0, it was re-gauged to standard gauge in 1905 and re-built as an 0-8-0 tank loco and used as the works shunter (switcher) at Nonalco works, Mexico City until withdrawal in 1960.
