Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 18, p. 22. Works numbers were 12812-12813 in July 1892 and 14344 in July 1895.
The C de G des C de F B opened in 1883 and initially connected Paranagua and Curitiba with a 110-km (67-mile ) line in southeastern Brazil. Ultimately, the road was folded into the Rio Grande do Brasil and these locomotives were renumbered.
