Central Jagueyal


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 1 (Locobase 13286)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 32, . Works numbers were 33049-33051 in November 1908.

The Jucaro a Moron company ordered this trio of saddle tanks for one of its "Centrals", where sugar cane was grown and processed. An earlier locomotive shown in Locobase 11805, had been delivered to a Cuban operator in the Spanish colonial days of 1882. The 1908 set followed many of the same lines, but used a higher boiler pressure and smaller drivers for more tractive effort on a heavier frame.

The three would later be owned by the FC Norte y del Sur.
