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.
