Azucarera de Carahatas 2-6-0 Locomotives in Cuba


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 1 (Locobase 13750)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 36, p. 2154 Works numbers were 35776 and 35795 in December 1910.

Sugar-plantation Mogul virtually identical those delivered by Baldwin to several other Centrales. Locobase shows the road numbers as 1 and 1 because each of the two went to a different Central. Baldwin 35776 eventually wound up on Ingenios San Francisco and Luzcardita. It would later serve the Central San Isidro. The 35795 was credited to the American Trading Company, which directed it to the Maribona, Sampedro & Company.
