Monterrubio _ Villafria 0-6-0 Locomotives in Spain
Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media
Class La Serrana (Locobase 4845)
Data from [
] . Works number was 1417 in 1900.
The CMER website offers this little tank engine as an example of the early motive power on the Compania Espanola de Minerales del Rif (CEMR). It was originally delivered to the railway shown in the specs, then sold to Sierra Menera as their 205, then to the CEMR as La Melilla
The CEMR, the history page tells us, was founded in 1908 as one of the narrow-gauge railways built across the Strait in North Africa (Spanish Morocco) to exploit iron-ore deposits. The port of Melilla was one terminus while the railway wound back into the hinterlands.
