222 Baldwin 37517 1912 2-8-0+T 100 cm     A friend visited in May 1997 + photo published in LI #42 (1998). This loco was running a tourist excursion on the old Mogyana Estrada de Ferro, which ran from Jaguariúna to the station of Anhumas, (short of Campinas).
                 

Note: I believe that the Campinas ABPF has a No 2, ALCO, 68621/1932, 0-4-0T, which has been reported as intended for running tourist excursions along the Campos de Jordão, between Abernessia and Capivari. This loco has now returned to Carlos Gomes.

CRJ # 54 (1983) reports arrival in Jaguariúna of no. 210/Baldwin/35218/1911/4-6-0/100 cm/ex-Oeste de Minas "in good condition and should soon be steamable".

CRJ # 54 (1983) also reports arrival in Jaguariúna of no. 725/ALCO/---/---/2-8-2/100 cm/ex-Mogiana, "formerly used for providing steam at Campins main station".

CRJ # 54 (1983) also reports that two locos will be transported to Jaguariúna from Cia de Cemento Naciopnal de Portland Mauá: no 103/0-6-0T and no 2/ALCO/0-4-0ST.

See ABPF list at end of this survey.

Note: A friend saw (in 2000) a locomotive preserved at the Hotel Fazenda Duas Marias, Estrada Campinas-Moji Mirim, Jaguariúna. This is Mogiana 417, Beyer Peacock 3817/1896.

City/site: Atibaia (Mariporã) SP [Note: There is the possibility of two different locations – Atibaia and Mairiporã! There are two sites, Atibaia and Mairporã. The latter is a college, the former a private preservation site. The locos below were at Atibaia]

Note: I twice visited this site in 1994 and found it closed on both occasions. I have not seen any of these locos. The information below is taken from CRJ #95 (1993).

185 Baldwin   8/1945 Mikado

2-8-2+T

    EFVM Repaired in João Neiva and made last trip to Vitória on 25 July 1991. There was a later ‘reforma geral’ in May 1984, for which retired railway workers were contracted to help. Wood-burning. Goes out every 3 or 4 months.

Photo published in O Vapor (p 183) .

Note: O Vapor (p 182) also gives "no 1, 0-4-0T, first loco on EFVM, called ‘Felippe Carpenter’ as preserved". Photo (1985) also published.

Engineers in Vitória told me that the Valle do Rio Doce has 4 steam locomotives: (1) Vitória, (2) Itabira MG, a Baldwin 2-8-2 which does not work, (3) Gov Valladares MG (small loco), João Neiva ES (small loco).

The four locos are all described in the recent book on the EFVM. They are as follows

Vitoria, ES: No. 185, 2-8-2 Baldwin 72666/46 is now kept in the museum at Pedro Nolasco station in Vitoria. It is in working order

Itabira, MG.: No 176, 2-8-2 Baldwin 70054/43 is plinthed here.

Gov. Valladares, MG: FC 1, 0-4-0T, Rheinmetall 708/1923 is plinthed here.

João Neiva, ES: FC 2, 0-4-0T, O&K is now in the museum in João Neiva, having been previously plinthed in Porto Velho. The boiler number is reported as 1288/1904, but this was a 0-4-4-2 Mallet tank, 760mm gauge, for the Steinbeisbahn in Bosnia. A more plausible identity for FC 2 is O&K 1388. In preserved condition the loco carries plates FC 1.

An ex-EFVM loco is plinthed at Timoteo, MG. It is a 4-6-0, believed to be 87, Baldwin 58953/1926.

City/site: Porto Velho RO

Note: I have not seen these locos, but the data comes from a reliable source.

This loco is the centrepiece of a Petrobrás petrol station on the Lago Sul road, QL 22 in Brasilia. The owners told me that it was brought by Petrobrás from Ceará, that it arrived in a terrible condition, but that it was restored. The restoration is to a high standard.

2 Baldwin 14119 10/1894 2-8-0 100 cm   #2 at Usina Barcelos In steam, and in use for excursions within the SESC holiday complex.

Reportedly ex-Sorocabana & Itauna 31, and ex-Sorocabana 109 [CRJ #40].

Note: The engineer told me that two other locomotives from Usina Barcelos were being renovated and would join in this tourist enterprise:

No 1, Baldwin 2-8-0

No 5, Baldwin 2-8-0(1894)

A visitor in Nov 2001 reported five locos on this line: nos 210,220,230,240,280 and 2 diesels. (I have strong doubts about this information).

These seem to be the only locos to have survived. The CRJ rosters for the Campos region:

CRJ #40. 1979/80

DTS 1981 comments on Nos 1 - 6: No 1 is 1894 & ex-EF Sorocabana. No 2 was under repair, and is ex- EF Sorocabana 109. No 5 is BLW, with plate ‘Construida LR Porto Novo/43’; ex-Leopoldina Rly.

Also in Rio de Janeiro, at Barão de Maua station, is Leopoldina 51, 2-4-2, metre gauge, Baldwin Extra order 1566/1925, possibly a rebuild of Baldwin 4944/1880, a 2-4-2T.
