The 75 cm line from Rio Gallegos to Rio Turbio in far southern (52 degrees south latitude) Argentina had 2-10-2's built by Mitsubishi in 1956 and 1963. The line was built in the early 1950's to haul coal from the mines at Rio Turbio to the port at Rio Gallegos. I believe it is now closed, but have no recent information.
