Ingenio Conchita 2-6-0 Locomotives in Cuba


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class Fifille (Locobase 12830)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 28, p. 106. Works number was 26299 in August 1905.

Juan Pedro Baro was the planter-owner of this sugar-plantation Mogul based in Matanzas. Note the odd gauge.


Class Maria (Locobase 12571)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines, 1888, as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Vol 24, p. 113. Works number was 19790 in November 1901.

Locobase 12301 and 12570 show identical Moguls delivered to other sugar plantation railroads.
