Salamanca-Frontera Portuguesa 2-8-2 Locomotives in Spain


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 141-0211 (Locobase 3377)

Data from [], the web site of the Spanish National Railway. See also the PDF of the Via Libre's Material Motor series, accessed as [] on 4 March 2007. Works numbers were 204-209 in 1925.

Delivered to the S-FP in 1925, this class of Mikado tanks proved too heavy for the right of way and were soon sent to la Compañfa de de los Ferrocarriles de Madrid a Cáceres y Portugal, where they were renumbered 651-656. But financial strains in the latter company led in 1928 to their being taken over by the Oeste, where they were renumbered again to 851-856.
