Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media
Class ESPA-A/031-0211 (Locobase 3424)
Data from [
], the web site of the Spanish National Railway. Works numbers were 3764-3765 in 1897.
The West Galicia was soon absorbed by the Oeste. The 0211 was retired in 1957, the Calda de Reyes went seven years later in 1964.
