At the end of 1924 it was shipped to Argentina to be put into operation by its new owner, the Concepcion sugar factory. Most recently, the locomotive was used by the Argentine sugar factory La Mendieta under the operating number "5", where it is still a monument today. Probaby should be regarded as HF 2861, then No. 5.
