This is one of 69 built for Chile's broad gauge (5'6") tracks although not all at the same time. The road number looks like 833 which means it's one of the fourth batch of 15 from 1947 which like the first 3 was built by Baldwin.
"The engines were designed to operate express passenger service between Santiago, Talca, San Antonio, and Cartagena, and would be relegated to more southern portions of the network as the railway electrified. The class was retired around 1980, with most engines scrapped. Eleven examples are known to be preserved."
