Rolling stock lists These were taken from the 1945 supplement to the FCE working timetables, very kindly scanned and forwarded by Sergio Barral. Additional notes are from the 1934-5 working timetable also forwarded by Señor Barral. It will be noted that there are occasional inconsistencies in these lists.

1006-35 on FCCC in ’ 34 & ’ 40. In 1934 the Río Negro line had nos. 1040-1, 3, 4 & 7. By 1945 all of these except 1044 had been moved to the Esquel line. In 1945 1040-43, 45, 47 were on Esquel line operations, whilst 1046, 48-50 were on Esquel line construction service (D). These two classes of 'furgons' appear to be in one number series, despite being of widely differing dimensions. Nos. 1036-37 are superficially unaccounted for, but at least two furgon cargas went to C. Rivadavia and one still lay there in 1975/7.

(C) 14 not assembled, and 4 altered as postal vans for mixed trains. The 100 cars for which tenders were invited breaks down as 25 1st class cars, 25 2nd class cars, and 50 assorted 'furgons'. If the 'servicio' cars were converted later only one passenger car remains unaccounted for, perhaps sent to Comodoro Rivadavia.

(A) Boxcars nos. 2086, 58, 60 & 81 not assembled, & 2084 modified for carrying meat & fruit. (B) Oil tanks 7002, 03, 05, 09, 11, 12-14, 16-17, 29-30 transferred to 'line to Lago Nahuel Huapí' The 1934 working timetable stocklists confirm that 17 broad gauge plataformas had been fitted with tanks from 75cm gauge wagons. It may be that everything except the bogies was transferred, for otherwise surely the wagons could have been converted to plataformas of a kind. (C) Water tanks 7502, 04, 06-07, 10-11, 14-15 & 19 transferred to 'line to Lago Nahuel Huapí' (see note B above). (D) Furgon 1049 cut down to bare chassis. (E) Wagon 2093 destroyed and 2100 cut down to platform. (F) Wagons 4057 & 4149 carrying water tanks. (G) Wagon 6048 acting as tender to 0-6-0T 19454; wagons 6047, 89, 91-92, 94, 99 cut down to platforms. (H) Tanks 7528 & 7530 'sin armar' (dismantled or without wheels?).

Ignoring minor discrepancies, these tables account for all bar 26 out of the total of 856 vehicles originally ordered according to the Dr. E. Perez 1925 report. Those missing from the lists may well have gone to the C. Rivadavia pier and land reclamation works. Whilst the Lapachito - El Zapallar line had a number of Famillereux vehicles (later renumbered to follow the Patagonian series) their different dimensions make it unlikely that they were from the 1922 batches listed above.
