Summary edit

Description
Español: Locomotora RENFE 040-2019 | MZA 571 | Vilanoba | Año 1879 | Reino Unido | 830 CV | 50 Km/h.
Locomotora de vapor no demasiado común en Europa, a pesar de que fue muy utilizada en España por su relieve abrupto. Al tener todos los ejes motores unidos por bielas, todo el peso de la máquina era adherente. Con una potencia elevada, se conseguía una locomotora adecuada para el remolque de trenes de mercancías en cualquier perfil. Estas características tenían la contrapartida de sacrificar la velocidad. La serie fue adquirida por la Compañía del Ferrocarril de Tarragona a Barcelona y Francia (TBF), que posteriormente convirtió en la red catalana de MZA. A partir de 1949 fue asignada al depósito de vapor de Vilanueva y Geltrú, donde permaneció hasta su baja, en 1967. En la actualidad forma parte del Museo del Ferrocarril de Cataluña.


English: This type of locomotives was not very common in Europe, although it was in Spain, natural in a rugged country. Due to its motive axles (joined by rods) the whole machine has total adhesion. Its adhesion and high power made it a suitable locomotive to tow goods trains in any profile. Of course, in compensation the speed was reduced. The series had a British origin and belonged to the Tarragona a Barcelona y Francia (TBF) company, which passed into the hands of the MZA Catalan network. This company did not use the 0-4-0 locomotives very much because its lines were less rugged than in other companies. It is a very special locomotive for Vilanova as, from 1949, it was assigned to this depot where it stayed until its retirement in 1967.
