FEPASA #6101 8/83 Jim Claflin FCSUR #2903 by Alan Miller (1949 built BLW-Westinghouse) 10/24/91 Llay LLay, Chile n.b. since I don't believe I've posted on this forum previously I thought I should explain 'BB' That's for Bruce Black, a great friend and great RR photographer who passed away a few years ago.

Author: pedrop Hi, these were the "V8" 2-C-C-2 of Ferrovias Paulistas SA - FEPASA in Brazil. We also had 2-D-D-2 "Russa"(Little Joe in USA). Some were preserved at Jundiaí SP museum.

These look better than any of their locos. Thanks for posting.
