Facts and practical information

The Mikado Locomotive is a monument paying tribute to the railway located in the Spanish city of Albacete. It was given on temporary deposit by the Museo del Ferrocarril de Madrid-Fundación de los Ferrocarriles Españoles in 1988.

It is a preserved steam locomotive, model Mikado, Renfe series 141F and registration number 2415, built in Spain in 1960, with its tender. It pays tribute to the railway because its arrival to Albacete in 1855 was a revulsive for the growth of the city, which also started to have important railway facilities. The locomotive, of 94 tons, reached a speed of up to 115 km/h and 2000 horsepower.

It is located in the Parque Lineal de Albacete, at the height of the Flour Factory of Albacete, in the Industria neighbourhood of the capital of Albacete. It was inaugurated in 1990 in the place where the railway used to run in Albacete.

It has special relevance in the history of Albacete Balompié because football in Albacete began with the locomotive factory of this model that José Manuel Goicoechea and the Lancanshire and Yorkshire Railways opened in the city.
