Summary[edit]

Description
English: Locomotora 030-2110 | Norte 1653 | Año 1881 | Alemania | 499 CV |60 Km/h. | Perruca

La Perruca circuló casi siempre en las duras líneas del nordeste de España, donde sus características técnicas fueron de gran utilidad. A finales de los años 50 del pasado siglo fue transferida al depósito de Tarragona, donde permaneció hasta su baja definitiva en los años 60. Su nombre parece proceder de la similitud con una moneda pequeña o perruca, a la salida de uno de los túneles del puerto de Pajares. Las locomotoras del siglo XIX compartían una arquitectura similar: calderas largas y bajas, chimeneas altas, y longitud reducida. La dureza, polivalencia y simplicidad de esta clase de máquinas hizo que fueran utilizadas por numerosas compañías. Remolcaron todo tipo de trenes, hasta que la llegada de locomotoras más evolucionadas las relegó a servicios de mercancías y maniobras.

The Perruca used to run on the hard lines in north-western Spain. Its qualities were very useful there. At the end of the 50's, it was transferred to the Tarragona depot till its retirement at the end of the 60’s. Its nickname comes from the shape of “perra gorda’' (a small coin) -or “perruca" for the Asturians which the exit of the Pajares pass showed inside a tunnel. Throughout the last century, the technical limitations reduced the types of locomotives. All of them shared a similar constructive architecture: low and long boilers, high chimneys, and reduced length, among other characteristics. Numerous companies used this kind of machines because of their hardness, simplicity and versatility. They pulled along all type of trains until the coming of more developed locomotives relegated them to goods and shunting services.
