2-6-0 Steam Locomotives in Cuba

Class General Wood (Locobase 12460)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 23, p. 173. Works number was 18419 in December 1900.

Nearly 10 years after the Guantanamo took delivery of the Mogul shown in Locobase 11717, Baldwin delivered this engine. Much had changed: Spanish sovereignty over Cuba had been supplanted by US-dominated self-government, the name on the locomotive was now American and referred to a well-known General.

In the locomotive, far less was different. Boiler pressure rose by about 15%, the engine was heavier.

After some time with the GRwy, the 9 went to the Central Palma Sorinao

Class J F Mackinlay (Locobase 11717)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 16, p. 176. Works number was 11500 in January 1891.

The Guantanamo was a 19-mile (30.6 km) standard-gauge line that connected the port to the town of Jamaica. It was later sold to the Brooks Company, which sold it to the Central Hatilo railway. At that point, this small Mogul may have been converted to metre-gauge.
