Data from "The Cork, Blackrock & Passage Railway," The Locomotive Magazine, Vol V (October 1900), p. 145. Boiler pressure is an estimate. works numbers were 655-656 and 662.
The article notes that this line was "entirely isolated from every other line of railway", operating its 6+ miles of road from Cork to Passage. It was laid to the standard Irish gauge but as the article was written in 1900, the railway was being converted to the 3-ft gauge. The early engines had the dome positioned well forward over the leading axle. Some modifications to the originals included a saddle tank and new stack added to number 2 and the same stack design on 3. See Locobase 10161 for the engines that replaced this trio.
