Hopefully their mechanicals are equally good.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/perutrenesymetros/photos/ Latinos are well practiced in giving geriatric Yankee motive power buzz cuts to fit their loading gauges. Work back through the above photo file for examples. They will probably be geared back to around 35 mph, you do not require fast locos to navigate spiral staircases. Fuel capacity will also be restricted, long range is not required so why carry excess weight? |
