Cia Urbana de Paraense 0-4-2 Locomotives in Brazil


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class Urbana (Locobase 12109)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Vol 19, p. 114. Works number was 14050 in May 1894.

Diminuitive though it may have been, the Urbana traveled on standard-gauge rails. Locobase is amused by the meticulous devotion to accuracy in the spec, where the tube length of 8 feet is crossed out and replaced with 7 ft 11 7/8". As "big" as it was, this tank was still expected to negotiate 20-metre curves (practically turning within its own length).
