Data from Record of Recent Construction #91 (Baldwin Locomotive Works, 1918), p.20-21; see also DeGolyer, Vol 54, pp. 379+. Works number was 45071 in February 1917.
Requirements for this engine included the low axle loading, the ability to negotiate 280-ft curve radii, and operations at altitudes of up to 12,000 feet. The wheelbase was short, which likely accounts for the short strokes in the cylinders as well. 9" (229 mm) piston valves fed the HP cylinders while 11" (279 mm) valves supplied the LP cylinders.
