What a wonderful collaboration! It is a pity that almost nothing remains of the engine. By sheer luck we have kept our first locomotive in Argentina, "La Porteña". I hope a video of her can be made in the future. I love these videos on early engines around the world.
I think that when Joaquin Salabert talks about a Guilo or Guilet engine, he speaks of a Couillet engine. The SA Marcinelle & Couillet, founded in 1835 was in the mid nineteenth century the largest company at the Brussels stock market. They built several locomotives in their subsidiary in Couillet in the province of Hainaut, and their locomotives were exported worldwide.
Excellent collaboration! Very interesting topic too! I always look forward to these videos because I always learn so much from them. Thanks for all you do, Anthony!
It's kinda funny to see history outpacing the locomotives rather than the other way around. It's amazing how much war and upheaval that engine saw compared to all the other first engines on this channel.
I love this video about the history of these locomotives and the first line in México, hopefully this topic can be made international of the history of the first railroad in méxico!
I draw a blank on most North American locomotives, and I have to say I know absolutely nothing about Mexican railways. That said I really enjoyed this video and found it very interesting.
What a peculiar locomotive design that I’ve never heard of thanks for sharing this to us. Do you think you can make a video about this unusual locomotive design LOCOMOTIVA CON MOTORE DIESEL"D 2311, C 2-3-13? It’s something know one has talked about.
More than 160 years have passed since the ship sank, the little that was salvaged floated in wooden boxes, the floor of this Locomotive was preserved, but I doubt that anything remains under the wreck
I'd recommend this books Railroads in Mexico (Vol 1 and 2) - Garma Franco Mexican Narrow Gauge - Gerald Best Ferrocarriles Decauville en México - Joaquín Salabert La Construcción del Ferrocarril Mexicano - John Chapman
It was a real, articulated bogie. Bogies have been around since 1812 (patent by William Chapman); Puffing Billy and Wylam Dilly were on bogies and in the United States bogies were in use from 1831/1832 onwards. Robert Stephenson introduced bogie locomotives for the American market in 1833. La Veracruzana is based on a Baldwin design for a 4-2-0 bogie locomotive.
An interesting topic! It's sad that Central and South American railways and their histories are shrouded by utility and a language barrier, especially as I can imagine there are many stories they could tell. An excellent collaboration, sirs!
Wow. This is impressive! I have never imagined you would dedicate a video on mexican locomotives.

Hello! Indeed, the builder was Couillet, only that I tried to pronounce it in French hahaha, greetings!
@@zutanomanganoperenganofulano y otra pregunta hermano ¿cuál era el nombre del segundo maquinista que vino desde belgica?
That is a beutiful locomotive, I wish such a historic locomotive was preserved.
Nice one! I don't think I've seen a lot about Mexican railways, so this is neat to see.
Thank you very much!
has anybody found or dived the wreck of the ship with that second loco if anything remains?
Excellent collaboration! Very interesting topic too! I always look forward to these videos because I always learn so much from them. Thanks for all you do, Anthony!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Anthony these videos are fantastic I love learning about these very obscure locomotives
Hello.Show drawings and pictures of the CAROLINE locomotive very beautiful there is nothing on the Internet.
It's kinda funny to see history outpacing the locomotives rather than the other way around. It's amazing how much war and upheaval that engine saw compared to all the other first engines on this channel.
Love this focus on often different railways and the collaboration! Hope to see more colabs in the future and perhaps more videos on Mexican locos
More to come!
I love this video about the history of these locomotives and the first line in México, hopefully this topic can be made international of the history of the first railroad in méxico!
This is the first I've ever heard anything relating to Mexican steam engines. Pretty neat.
Brilliant collaborative effort. High quality production value. This opened my eyes to Mexican rail history.
Thankyou!!!
Love your videos, especially your coverage of stuff outside the UK. A lot of railway enthusiasts think history didn't happen beyond Cornwall....
Great video Mr El Dawson very informative as usual.
What a wonderful video! Always so interesting seeing where rail history begins in all sorts of places!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Would like to see more of these collaborative videos from Mexico and around the world
That's my plan moving forward
Brilliant!
Love your videos on international locos!
Thank you so much. Looking at an Italian loco soon!
caramba! that was a wonderful segment! :)
I draw a blank on most North American locomotives, and I have to say I know absolutely nothing about Mexican railways. That said I really enjoyed this video and found it very interesting.
Thanks for give us a brief video about the first mexican loco ever... Did you ever visit the country and the railway museum in Puebla ?
Very interesting video, wonder if there still remains of the loco that sank with the boat in the gulf of Mexico?
160 years later probably nothing.
What a peculiar locomotive design that I’ve never heard of thanks for sharing this to us.
Do you think you can make a video about this unusual locomotive design LOCOMOTIVA CON MOTORE DIESEL"D 2311, C 2-3-13? It’s something know one has talked about.
Thanks! Unfortunately you lost me at 'Diesel' this is a primarily steam channel 1800-1870s (circa).
Wait but doesn’t that sunken engine count as preserved
More than 160 years have passed since the ship sank, the little that was salvaged floated in wooden boxes, the floor of this Locomotive was preserved, but I doubt that anything remains under the wreck
Loving it! Anyone got recommendations for reading material on Mexican railways? Puede ser en español.
I'd recommend this books
Railroads in Mexico (Vol 1 and 2) - Garma Franco
Mexican Narrow Gauge - Gerald Best
Ferrocarriles Decauville en México - Joaquín Salabert
La Construcción del Ferrocarril Mexicano - John Chapman
Was it carrying a real bogie at the front? Or was it fixed. Seems early build for a real bogie. Thanks for the video.

@@AnthonyDawsonHistory Thanks, didn't know they were that early.

Not many Guilo (?) locomotives exist, I hear one has been repatriated to Belgium from the UK.

@@zutanomanganoperenganofulano thank you, I couldn't think of how it was spelt, now I know.
