Togoland Military Railway No. 30 and 31

In 1917, ALCO delivered two 2-8-2T tank locomotives to the Togoland Military Railway, while the country was under British-French occupation. They had the works numbers 56743 and 56744 and the order number C-471. Built in metre gauge, they had a service weight of 96,000 pounds. Their cylinders measured 15 by 20 inches and the drivers had a diameter of 38 inches. On the railway, they got the running numbers 30 and 31. The photo shows No. 30, named “King George V”. When Togo became a French colony, these locomotives were passed on to the Chemins de fer du Togo.
