Steam locomotive built in Belgium during 1890 by Société John Cockerill for the Royal Company of the Portuguese Railways. This locomotive and CP 004 from the same build, were an extension of the CP series 001 and 002, from 1882. CP 003 was allocated to Entroncamento and later in Contumil. Their small dimension, combined with robustness and maneuverability, meant this series of small locomotives was intended exclusively for the railway construction as well as shunting duties at stations and goods depots where they were allocated. As such, theses locomotives were therefore known as pilot locomotives and were the predecessors of the diesel shunters. Locomotives of this series were known as

John Cockerill (1790-1840): Pioneer of Belgian Industry

John Cockerill (August 3, 1790 – June 9, 1840) was a pivotal figure in the industrial revolution, renowned as an English-born industrialist who significantly shaped the landscape of Belgian industry. His legacy extends beyond mere business acumen; he pioneered advancements in steam engine technology and railway development, leaving an indelible mark on 19th-century engineering.

Early Life and Family Legacy

Born in Haslingden, Lancashire, England, John Cockerill's destiny was intertwined with his father, William Cockerill, a visionary British entrepreneur who had established himself as a prominent builder of wool-processing machinery in the Liège region of Belgium. William recognized the potential for industrial growth and brought young John to Verviers, Belgium, around 1802. This relocation proved crucial, immersing John in a world of mechanical innovation from an early age. The Cockerill family tradition focused on improving textile production through innovative machinery, laying the groundwork for John's future endeavors.

Rise as an Industrialist and Technological Innovation

Following his father’s retirement in 1813, John, alongside his brother Charles James Cockerill, assumed management of the family business. A key moment arrived in 1817 when they established the ironworks named "John Cockerill & Cie." (later Societe Anonyme Cockerill-Ougree). This marked a significant expansion beyond textile machinery into broader industrial production. The Seraing factory became a vertically integrated powerhouse, encompassing iron foundries and machine manufacturing. Under John's leadership, the company embraced cutting-edge technologies:

Steam Engines: Cockerill’s factories produced a wide range of steam engines, including air-blowers, traction engines, and those for maritime use, significantly contributing to industrial power generation.
Steel Production: The introduction of coke-fired blast furnaces in 1826 demonstrated Cockerill's commitment to modern steelmaking techniques.
Railway Technology: A landmark achievement was the construction of "Le Belge" (The Belgian), Belgium’s first steam locomotive, in 1835, solidifying Cockerill’s role as a pioneer in railway technology.

Challenges and Legacy

Despite his remarkable achievements, John Cockerill's career faced significant challenges. Economic instability in the late 1830s, triggered by tensions between Belgium and the Netherlands, led to bankruptcy for his company in 1839. He embarked on a desperate mission to secure funding from Russia, but contracted typhoid fever and died in Warsaw in 1840 at the age of 49.

Despite this tragic end, Cockerill’s legacy endured. He was widely recognized as a humanitarian employer and the founder of Belgian manufacturing industry. His company continued to evolve through various mergers and acquisitions, with the Cockerill name remaining associated with engineering excellence for many years. A monument in Brussels commemorates his contributions to Belgium's industrial heritage, ensuring that John Cockerill’s pioneering spirit continues to inspire generations.
