The [[Buenos Aires and Pacific Railway]] bought eighteen 2-8-2T locomotives in three batches of six as their class [[Buenos Aires and Pacific 701 class|701 class]]. The first two batches came from [[North British Locomotive Company]] in 1908 and 1912, the third from [[Henschel & Son]] in 1913.{{sfnb|Carter|2006|p=90}}

The BA&P also bought eight 2-8-2 tender locomotives from [[Beyer, Peacock & Company]] in 1928 as their [[Buenos Aires and Pacific 3001 class|3001 class]].{{sfnb|Carter|2006|p=101}}

The FCCA also bought sixty 2-8-2 locomotives: twenty [[FCCA class CS8A|class CS8A]] from Beyer, Peacock & Company in 1926, and another twenty in 1928 from Robert Stephenson & Company. The final twenty to [[FCCA class CS9A|class CS9A]] were supplied by [[Vulcan Foundry]] in 1930. Both classes were [[compound locomotive|cross-compound locomotives]] with one high-pressure cylinder with a [[Bore (engine)|bore]] of {{convert|21|in|mm|0|abbr=off}} and one low-pressure cylinder with a bore of {{convert|31+1/2|in|mm|0|abbr=off}}, with a [[Stroke (engine)|stroke]] of {{convert|26|in|mm|0|abbr=off}}. The earlier class had  coupled wheels with a diameter of {{convert|62|in|mm|0|abbr=off}}, whereas on the later class they were  {{convert|55+1/2|in|mm|0|abbr=off}}.{{sfnb|Carter|2006|pp=158–159}}

====Standard gauge====
The [[East Argentine Railway]] bought four 2-8-2 locomotives from [[Baldwin Locomotive Works]] in 1924. As [[East Argentine Railway class X|class X]] they were numbered 70 to 74; they became [[General Urquiza Railway]] 701 to 704 in the [[Railway nationalisation in Argentina|1948 nationalisation]].{{sfnb|Carter|2006|p=285}} Baldwin had classified them as 12-30-{{frac|1|4}}-E.

===={{RailGauge|1000mm}} gauge====
The [[Province of Buenos Aires Railway]] bought a single 2-8-2 locomotive from Hanomag of Germany in 1910. Numbered 251 and classified as class E, it was the only 2-8-2 on that railway's system.{{sfnb|Carter|2006|p=481}}

The [[Central Northern Railway]] (FCCN) bought seven classes of 2-8-2 locomotives totalling 134 locomotives. The first 100 were all bought in 1911: Fifteen from Borsig (class C7, numbered 700–714), 25 from Henschel & Sohn (class C8, 715–739), 10 from Hanomag (class C9, 740–749) and 50 from North British Locomotive (class C10, 750–799).{{sfnb|Carter|2006|pp=204–206}} The next 25 came from Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1920; they were Baldwin class 12-30-{{frac|1|4}}-E, 55 to 79, FCCN class C11, numbered 7000–7024. The last nine new locomotives were built by Henschel between 1928 and 1930 (class C13, numbers 7025–7033, and class C13A, number 7034).{{sfnb|Carter|2006|pp=218–219}} In addition the FCCN rebuilt 20 [[4-8-0]] locomotives of classes C6 and C7 into 2-8-2s between 1938 and 1940.{{sfnb|Carter|2006|p=219}}

The [[Córdoba Central Railway]] (FCCC) bought 31 locomotives in four classes. The first was a solitary locomotive, numbered 800, class C6A built by Alco's Brooks Works in 1910.{{sfnb|Carter|2006|p=180}} It was nearly a decade before they bought any more with a dozen class C9A locomotives, numbered 1451 to 1462, coming from Montreal Locomotive Works, half in 1919 and half in 1920.{{sfnb|Carter|2006|p=181}} MLW delivered another 15 Mikados later that same year; as class C10A they were numbered 1463 to 1477.{{sfnb|Carter|2006|p=182}} FCCC's final three came from Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1925, they were Baldwin class 12-26-{{frac|1|4}}-E; FCCC numbered them 1501 to 1503, class C11A.{{sfnb|Carter|2006|p=182}} When the FCCC was taken over by the FCCN in 1939, their new owner changed the classification by adding 20 to the FCCC's old classification; the locomotives kept their old numbers, except for FCCC 800 which became FCCN 1400.{{sfnb|Carter|2006|pp=180–182}}

===={{RailGauge|750mm}} gauge====
On the [[Ferrocarriles Patagónicos]], 75 locomotives were bought in 1922. Fifty were built by Henschel & Sohn, numbered 101 to 150 and class 75H; 25 were built by Baldwin, numbered 1 to 25, class 75B with Baldwin classifying then as 12-18-{{frac|1|4}}-E.{{sfnb|Carter|2006|pp=472–473}}
