Central Juanita 2-4-0 Locomotives in USA-Puerto_Rico


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 3 (Locobase 14177)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Volume 49, p. 69. Works number was 33705 in August 1909.

Ernst Wiener bought this tiny six-wheeler for the Azucareras de A Monroig of Puerto Rico. Its subsidiary, Central Juanita (Inc), operated the engine in support of the plantations and processing mill located near Bayamon. Opened in 1895, the Central Juanita eventually reached a processing rate of 3,800 tons per day.
