Despite its small size and look this is a passenger locomotive. The wheels arrangement 0-3-0 -six-wheeler- makes all its weight adhesive suitable quality for goods or passenger machines at low speed. This Belgian locomotive was ordered by the Ferrocarril Central de Aragon, a company with special characteristics. It was a model adapted to the hardness of its profiles and also capable of towing passenger trains at higher speed. That was the reason for choosing this model with notable wheel diameter, which qualified it to higher speed. They pulled all kind of passenger trains till the 20's, when they were relegated to light passenger trains on the Valencia-Teruel-Caminreal line until their retirement at the end of the 60’s.
