Summary

Description
Español: Locomotoras 141F-2101 y 141F-2348 - Año 1953/1957 - 2000 Cv - 90 Km/h. y 115 Km/h. respectivamente.

Las “Mikado", evocan un antiguo dominio imperial japonés, lo que resulta muy adecuado para describir estas populares locomotoras, pues en el ocaso de la tracción vapor en España, fueron las últimas en circular. El modelo “Mikado” se caracteriza por ser simple, robusto y manejable. Era una locomotora mixta y sus prestaciones no resultaban particularmente brillantes, aunque era apta para cualquier servicio en toda clase de trazados. Se construyeron 242 locomotoras, las 25 primeras en el Reino Unido, ante la incapacidad de la industria nacional de hacerlo en un plazo breve. El resto fue fabricado por las cuatro constructoras españolas más importantes del momento. La segunda de estas “Mikado” fue apagada simbólicamente por el entonces príncipe Juan Carlos. Finalizó de esta manera la era de la tracción vapor en España.

The “Mikado” locomotives evoke an old imperial Japanese dominion, very useful to describe these popular machines. Not so much because of their characteristics but because they were the last loco-motives to run in the decline of the steam traction. The “Mikado” type is simple, sturdy and easy to use. It is a mixed-traffic locomotive, whose features were not especially brilliant but it was suitable for any service in any kind of layout. Those were the most valuable characteristics for Spanish Railways with their features and difficulties. For all this their presence was practically ubiquitous on RENFE lines. 242 locomotives were manufactured, the first 25 in the United Kingdom, due to the inability of the national industry to do it in a short period of time. The rest was built by the four most important Spanish companies at the time. The second one of these Mikado locomotives was symbolically extinguished by the then Prince Juan Carlos in 1975. And so, the age of steam traction ended in Spain.
