Marcinelle & Couillet 020-T
Marcinelle & Couillet 020-T is a narrow-gauge steam locomotive designed for the mining industry. It has two coupled axles, making it particularly suitable for the narrow tracks typically used in mines.
The dimensions of the locomotive were adapted to the track width of 0.55 meters. It weighs 3,000 kg empty and 3,800 kg when in operation. Despite its small size, this locomotive is capable of pulling trains weighing between 10 and 5.8 tons.
History
In 1877, the Barruelo mines (Castile and Leon) were transferred to the Northern Spanish Railway Company. From that moment on, a large-scale modernization began: the construction of new wells and the purchase of modern mining equipment. The company acquired six small locomotives that replaced the horses.
