Situada en un parque de la localidad de El Campillo (Huelva, España), recuerda el prolongado pasado minero de la comarca. Es una locomotora tipo 0-3-0 ténder fabricada en 1907 por la North British Locomotive Co. con el número 28.032 como parte de un conjunto de diecisiete en total, denominadas clase K por la compañía, que se adquirieron para realizar el transporte del mineral extraído en la Corta Atalaya, próxima a la localidad. La implantación de locomotoras diésel y la electrificación de las líneas terminaron por ir retirando estas máquinas del servicio paulatinamente hasta los años 70 del siglo XX.

This locomotive is one of seventeen Class K engines made by the company. These locomotives were designed to transport extracted minerals in the region. The introduction of diesel locomotives and the electrification of the lines gradually brought about the retirement of the locomotives.
