0-6-2 Steam Locomotives in Portugal

Class 009--as modified (Locobase 21305)

Data from [], last accessed 30 November 2008; and "Locomotivas de Vapor de Via Larga"p. 17 , posted by Guarda Freio at 18:01, 23 September 2018, at [], last accessed 25 January 2026; and "Série 09 a 026 da CP" in Wikipedia at [], last accessed 26 February 2026. Works numbers were 3121-3128 in 1890 and 3247-3256 in 1891.

When the RP opened the Sintra line, they ordered these engines to manage freight traffic. As the route included the Rossio Tunnel, which measured 2,613 metres (1.62 statute miles) long, the locomotives initially used a smoke-reduction system that diverted exhaust steam into its side tanks. It didn't extract smoke from the steam, which may explain why its sluggishness in acceleration led to its removal later.

Once the 070 class entered service in 1916, the 009s served as bankers on the Albergaria grade and shunters in various stations.

The data given on the diagram page and used in this entry refers to a modification program in the Lisbon shops performed first in 1911 and additionally in 1923-1924. Locomotives undergoing a modest upgrade were 09-010, 012, 014-015, 017, 020, 023, 026.

NB: When tube heating surface area is measured using 44 mm (1.75") inside (fire side) diameter, total evaporative heating surface area including firebox amounted to 117.69 sq m (1,267 sq ft ). Locobase used the outside (water side) diameter.

Half of the class gained a leading axle, new, bigger boilers with increased boiler pressure by about 2.9 bar; see Locobase 21306..

Beyer, Peacock works numbers were 3021-3022 in 1889 (road 19-20). Hanomag works numbers were 3807-3808 in 1902 (road 17-18).
