PLACE AND DATE Trelew, January 1993
NOTES CRJ 88 and 93 raised some confusion that there might be two locos in Trelew, but latest evidence suggests there is only this one. The old Chubut Railway station is now the town museum, in Avenida Fontana, and the loco is displayed outside. See Martin Coombs' Patagonian Railway site for another picture and more details.
