Western Railway of Havana 2-6-0 Locomotives in Cuba


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 3 (Locobase 12132)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 19, p. 170. Works number was 14136 in October 1894.

Locobase 11572 shows the Mogul delivered to the Cuban railway FC de Sagua la Grande in 1889. Although the 1894 specifications in the DeGolyer archive do not show heating surface areas, all of the other dimensions match the 1889 locomotive. So while Locobase describes this information as an "estimate", he's pretty confident in the numbers.
