Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 54, p. 371. Works number was 45915 in 1917.
This side-tank Prairie was of the same size and weight as the long-running series of twelve 2-6-4Ts built by Robert Stephenson for the Arauco from 1889-1912 (Locobase 16024).
Given the identical power dimensions, grate area, and adhesion wheelbase, Locobase suspects this was a single variant built with a separate tender by a North American supplier. Its firebox's brick arch may also represented a change from the earlier 2-6-4Ts.
