Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Vol 49, p.230. See also Frank Rhea, Far Eastern Markets for Railway Materials, Equipment, and Supplies, Special Agents Series 180, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, US Department of Commerce (Washington, DC: Government Printing Office, 1919) , p. 111. Works numbers were 41245-41246 in March 1914.
These Consolidations were not much bigger or more powerful than the trio of Moguls bought two years earlier (Locobase 13649). American Arch Company supplied the sectional fire bricks to lay on the arch tubes, which contributed 18.3 sq ft (1.7 sq m) to the direct heating surface area. The railway they served was the southern section of the Canton-Hankow and initially connected Kwangtung with the Hunan border about 210 miles (338 km) away. First incorporated in 1908 by an American-Chinese company, the railway passed through several owners before being taken over by the Chinese government. By 1919, 140 miles between Kwangtung and Shiuchow were complete, but the remaining 70 described as running over "very rough country". As many as 60 tunnels bored for a total of 10,000 feet were envisioned in addition to "some rather expensive bridge work."
