Data from DeGolyer, Vol 66 pp. 369+. Works numbers were 55423-55424 in May 1922.
The IFOCS built and maintained many water projects to encourage irrigation in Brazil's relatively dry northeast. Many of their locomotives were lettered for the Inspectorate, but operated on other roads. These two wood-burning Ten-wheelers were run by railways with long names. The 109 ran on the E de F de Penetracao de Paranaiba (Limite de Alagoa Granda de Pagos).
The 110 was delivered to the E de F de Limoeiro a Umbuzeiro, which connected the Paranaiban town of Limoeiro with the Pernambuco border town of Umuzeiro about 40 km (24.8 miles) away. Grades inclined to as much as 2 1/2% and curves had radii as tight as 250 feet (76.2 metres).
