We are a small group of expats living in Vietnam and are working on a website about the history of the railways of Indochina & Vietnam and are of course struggling with incomplete locomotive rosters and general lack of documentation etc. etc.

 

 One of the mysteries is a meter gauge (very light) 460 locomotive (3 pcs ) that were supplied to CF Indochine by Mitsui company in 1916.

 (None of the locomotives survived and so far no photo found. )

 

There were a lot similarish 460s sold to different Brazilian railways in those times, so maybe this one could be related ?

 

And you are of course welcome to explore the biggest ever Indochina/Vietnam collection of railway related photos and infos on
