Companhia Uniao Agricola 0-6-0 Locomotives in Brazil


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class unknown (Locobase 15134)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Vol 66, pp. 290+ and 72, pp. 157+. Works numbers were 52689 in December 1919 and 57635 in February 1924.

Tiny wood-burning saddle tanks headed for the light rail (36 lb/yard//18 kg/metre) and tight curves (radii of 124 feet/37.8 metres) of a sugar plantation. The engines were topped by Rushton Improved spark-arresting cabbage stacks. The second one weighed 250 lb (113 kg) more than the first.
