Ingenio Barahona 0-4-0 Locomotives in the Dominican_Republic


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 1 (Locobase 14778)

Data from DeGolyer, Vol 63, pp. 313. Works number was 52500 in November 1919.

Like many small plantation saddle tanks, this little wood-burner had a Rushton Improved spark-arresting cabbage stack.A "hereafter" note in the specifications tells us that the Barahona requested that all future locomotives would be equipped with Walschaert vavle gear.


Class 2 (Locobase 14779)

Data from DeGolyer, Volume 63, pp. 313. Works numbers were 53411-53412 in July 1920 and 53887 in October 1920.

Built as wood-burners, these little saddle tanks were to be easily converted to oil-burning. All had the Rushton Improved spark-arresting cabbage stack.

Like the earlier 0-4-0ST shown in Locobase 14779, this entry had a "hereafter" note that requested that all future locomotives would be equipped with Walschaert valve gear.
