Having made many trips to chase steam on Fegua, I was intrigued as to whether I ever saw any of these little moguls and what might have happened to them. On my first visit in March 1970 I have a (very dark) picture of 79 inside the engine house at Tecum Uman. Then in February 1975 i got this image of the 79 looking rather derelict at Mazatenango.
Also found a picture showing the 80 in a corner of the Guatemala City roundhouse in November of 1975.
It would not surprise me that these engines saw little in any service after Fegua took over from the IRCA. I never saw one under steam.
