This locomotive is a rotary snowplough. Originally built for the FCTA (Ferrocarril Trasandino Argentino), it became part of FCGB upon nationalisation in 1948. Following withdrawal it was placed at Cruz del Eje for display. A visit in January 2024 showed the loco still on site. It can be seen sticking out of a wall next to the station platform.
