PLACE AND DATE Dumesnil, 25th March 1998

NOTES the now derelict Hercules cement factory, owned by Jose Minetti, had two broad gauge shunting locos, in addition to an extensive 600mm gauge system. The other broad gauge loco (12956) is preserved in working order in Buenos Aires by the Ferroclub Argentina. This loco survives on site in Dumesnil, and was reportedly for sale in 1993 (CRJ 96/485), but was already in a woeful state in 1998. Several of the Minetti 600mm gauge locos survive (see 11206, 11372, 11905)
