Dona Joaninha, Steam tender locomotive monument in Praça Paschoal Thomeu, Guarulhos, Brazil.

The Dona Joaninha locomotive stands as a black metal structure with a 2-6-4 wheel arrangement, weighing 150 tonnes at Praça Paschoal Thomeu.

Manufactured by Bottene & Filhos in 1940, the locomotive transported sugar cane between Tamoio station and Araraquara until operations ceased in the 1960s.

The locomotive received its name from Dona Joana Morganti, who owned the workshop where workers assembled the locomotive using parts from different sources.

Visitors can observe the locomotive behind protective railings, with illumination during evening hours following the 2020 restoration project.

The locomotive combines components from an earlier EFS engine, including its chassis and wheels, with new elements such as a boiler and water tank.

Location: Guarulhos

Inception: January 1940
