Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 6 (Locobase 13079)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Volume 30, p.174. Works number was 30015 in January 1907.

This Mogul was identical to the #10 delivered to Brazil's Muzambinho 11 years before (see Locobase 12201). It was purchased by the Compania Commercio e Navigacao and would later be sold to the Sao Paolo a Goyaz.
