Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Vol 22, p. 174. Works number was 16783 in May 1899.
Usina Esther was an industrial client in Brazil that bought this locomotive from Arthur Koppel, who contracted for its production from Baldwin. Koppel would later team up with Orenstein in Berlin.
