Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class unknown (Locobase 13490)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Volume 36, p. 318. Works number was 35869 in January 1911.

Purchased through brokers F Benn & Son. By this time, specifying copper for the firebox and stays rarely constituted part of an order with Baldwin, but both were required in this engine.
