Re: Seek Advice for Rebuilding 9" Westinghouse Air Pumps

Thor,

Thanks very much for posting the photos. I have two questions regarding the Donna Teresa Christina Railway:

Do any of the U.S.-built 2-10-4's survive, or have all of them been scrapped? I understand their boilers were worn past the point of repair in the 1980's, and they were replaced with 2-10-2's obtained from Bolivia(?).

Do you know if any of the locomotives modified by Ing. L. D. Porta survive? There was at least one 2-10-2 and I believe two 2-8-2's equipped with Lempor exhausts and the Gas Producer Combustion System.

Thanks, and good luck with your air compressors.
