Ingenio Zaza


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 2 (Locobase 14031)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 44, p 324. Works number was 40371 in August 1913.

Prominent locomotive dealer Krajewski-Pesant bought this Mogul for the little line that connected the junction of the Cuban Central near Placetas in Villa Clara Province with the mill. After the 1959 Revolution, the mill was renamed the Benito Juarez.
