Central Nueva Paz “Palos”
Cuba 1912 1 produced
In August of 1912, Baldwin delivered a small 2-4-0 tender locomotive to the Central Nueva Paz on Cuba. This railway was built in a gauge of two and a half feet and with light rails to serve sugar cane farms. The locomotive had been ordered through the American Trading Company, had the works number 38098 and was No. 7 of the Baldwin type 6-12 C. The specification book of the manufacturer says that the purchaser desired heavier springs than usual since the tracks were in poor condition.
