Guayaquil and Quito Railway Co. No. 40 to 51
Ecuador 1940 12 produced
Between 1940 and 1947, Baldwin delivered twelve Consolidations to the Guayaquil & Quito. Compared to most of the Consolidations previously delivered by this builder, they had smaller drivers of only 42 inches. They were still oil-fired, were superheated and had thermic syphons with a surface of 12 square feet. Most were retired in the seventies, but there are also some reports of locomotives still in use as switchers in the early nineties.
