458 became NdeM 400 & was standard gauged in 1949, becoming NdeM 2250. (Class KR-03)
459 became NdeM 401 & was standard gauged in
1949, becoming NdeM 2251. (Class KR-04)
I am not aware of their scrapping dates, although at least one of these locomotives lasted into the early '60's. I have a slide given to me by a friend.
Above info came from Jerry Best's Mexican Narrow
Gauge book.
