Data from "Equipment & Supplies - Locomotive Building", Railroad Age Gazette, Vol 47, No 9 (27 August 1909), p. 387. See also Martin Coombs, Part 20 West Indian islands steam locomotive lists (other than Cuba), V. 1.04, June 2026, pp. 152-154, at [], last accessed 8 August 2026. Works numbers were 4424-4427 in October 1909.
Martin Coombs shows several photographs and a Porter description in his welcome addition to his masterwork of South and Central steam locomotives series.
The Pittsburgh builder classified this tank-tender engine as 2-B-SS-T4 and described it as a "special design for special conditions." One of the quartet bore the name "Sud", but Coombs could find no information on road numbers.
