El FC de Santa Marta No. 1 (originally Southwold Railway No. 1 Southwold) was a 2-4-0 side tank locomotive.

History[]

Southwold was built in 1879 by Sharp, Stewart and company as works number 2848 for use on the 3 ft gauge Southwold Railway as their original No. 1 along with two other identical locomotives numbered 2 and 3. Southwold was sent back to the works of Sharp, Stewart and Company due to being redundant 1883.[1][2][3][4]

Sharp, Stewart & Company sold Southwold in 1888 to the 3ft gauge El FC de Santa Marta (formerly named the Santa Marta Railway) in Colombia, maintaining it's number. No. 1 was withdrawn in 1932, and presumably scrapped.[1][2][5][6][7]
