Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Vol 15, p. 33. Works numbers were 9862, 9866 in March 1889 and 11573, 11575 in January 1891.
The first two locomotives came to this northeast Brazilian railway unnamed. The later two, which were to have been numbered 3-4, apparently encountered delays and were delivered with road numbers 20 and 21 and names: Antonio Prado and Cezar de Souza.
The Baturite was built from the port of Fortaleza south toward Pernambuco and had major points at Baturite,Quixeramobim, Miguel Calmon and Igatu; this last was 413.5 km (256 miles) from Fortaleza.
The 1911 edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica claimed that it was built by the national government "...partly to give employment to starving refugees in periods of long-continued droughts."
