===Belgian Congo=== [[File:CF du Bas-Congo 2-10-4 801.jpg|thumb|No. 801 dumped at Lubumbashi]] The Texas type was rare in Africa. One locomotive, numbered 801, was built for the CF du Bas-Congo au Katanga by [[John Cockerill (company, 1825–1955)|Société Anonyme John Cockerill]] in 1939. It had {{convert|540|by|550|mm|abbr=on}} cylinders and {{convert|1100|mm|in|0|abbr=on}} diameter driving wheels, with a working order mass of {{convert|107.8|t|abbr=on}}, a grate area of {{convert|5.4|m2|abbr=on}}, and a tractive effort at 65% boiler pressure of {{convert|14690|kgf|abbr=on}}. The locomotive is believed to have been built for the line between [[Bukama]] and [[Kamina]] and accumulated {{convert|1200000|km|mi|abbr=on}} during its service lifetime. Even with its large size, it was hand-fired and had two firebox doors, with two firemen being carried.<ref>Blanchart, De Deurwaerder, Nève, Robeyns & Van Bost (1999).
