A locomotive called ΜΥΛΟΙ
1884 Proven
In 1884 Krauss in Munich built five small tank engines for the Peloponnese railway. Each got a name, and one of them was called ΜΥΛΟΙ. Engines of this series later worked the short branch Nafplio–Argos–Myloi.
Note: The thesis gives the engine number as A3; the SFS special issue (2026) calls A4 'Μύλοι'. The thesis photo shows A4 as ΤΙΡΥΝΣ, which supports A3.
