The Sugar Corporation From Madrid, it held the concession for a railway line 24.978 kilometers long and 600 millimeters wide, for private service and public use for the transport of sugar production and beet derivatives, which were produced in abundance in the fields along the Jarama and Tajuña rivers. From the La Poveda factory, in the municipality of Arganda del Rey, it ran to San Martín de la Vega, Ciempozuelos, and Torrejón de Ardoz, connecting the beet fields with the factory. At this last station, it connected with the MZA line from Madrid to Alcázar de San Juan.
This line had nine steam locomotives, three of them three-axle, built by Orenstein & Koppel, and were responsible for moving wagons in the factory yard, and five five-axle engines, numbered 105 to 109, of higher power, 60 HP, and towing capacity, capable of reaching speeds of 10 to 12 km/h. Built in the year 1910 by the same manufacturer as the previous ones, which were used to operate the line. In 1972, the last sugar beet season took place, followed by the closure of the sugar factory and the railway.
The year 1975, locomotive No. 105 is moved to the Pressed Yeast Factory plant in Gavà (Barcelona), where it is placed at the entrance of the factory until 1995, when it is rescued by the Castellar de n'Hug Transport Museum Foundation with the intention of putting it into operation to haul a small tourist train over the old route of the industrial railroad that served the Clot del Moro cement factory. To this end, it was sent to workshops in Asturias for repair in 2002. A year later, it began operating in Clot del Moro, but due to the poor negotiation of the locomotive's five axles caused by the tight curves of the line's route, it was decided not to operate it and instead to acquire towed rolling stock and two new diesel locomotives.
In 2008, the locomotive was acquired by National Museum of Science and Technology of Catalonia (MNACTEC), which placed it on deposit and in the custody of Railways of the Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC), which in turn in 2024 transferred it to the Association for the Preservation of Industrial Railway Heritage (APPFI), and it was moved to Móra la Nova, has just completed its operational restoration to guarantee its functioning on the tracks of this Museum.
