Data from MexRy 1939 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

The 20 miles of 2' gauge track came into the Mexican Railway's when that railroad bought the FC de Cordoba a Huatusco. The Huatusco never made it to that city, falling 29 miles short at Coscomatepec. These little Moguls served the branch until it was abandoned in 1951.
