The "Babwil" Locomotive
The locomotive RENFE 140-2054 GUADIX was built in Bilbao for 'Compañía de los Ferrocarriles Andaluces' in 1928 by 'Babcock & Wilcox'. It was used on the line from Almería to Baza to haul freight. After restoration in 2001 it was used, along with two period coaches, as a tourist train. It has been used in many films.
