Cayaltí is a green 0-4-2 saddle tank tender engine steam locomotive, displayed at ex Hacienda House in Peru.
History[]
Cayaltí was built either in 1905 or 1915[1][2] by John Fowler and company[3][4] of Leeds, Yorkshire, England in the United Kingdom for a narrow gauge industrial railway working a sugar plantation in Cayaltí, Peru operated by the Aspillaga brothers from 1903[1], the line ran 37km to the port of Eten[1][5]. Originally the locomotive was named M. R. Pryor[1][4] if it was the original number 5 on the railway, as the number 3 carried the name Cayaltí[1] and the works number 10363 of 1905[2][3], while 14607 of 1915[1] referred to a tender ordered by agents Henry Kendall and sons[2] for the Aspillaga concern from John Fowler and company.
Regardless of the locomotive's true identity it was withdrawn in the 1970s[1] and on display by 1978[5], over the years the locomotive became dilapidated[4], as a result of the poor economic conditions the area struggled through as the sugar cane industry collapsed[6]. The locomotive has recently been restored with it's tender returned[7], but displayed the wrong-way[1]. Cayaltí is named after the town it worked and is displayed in, it is one of the few John Fowler 0-4-2ST+T still in existence[3].
