Among the few road engines the AC & Y bought new were these 5 Consolidations. The first 2 (Baldwin works# 55566-55567) were produced in August 1922. A year later, Baldwin added a trio (works# 56848-56850) that were slightly heavier and had 4 more square feet of thermic syphons, but otherwise identical.
