Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class Angelina (Locobase 11639)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines, 1888, as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Vol 15, p. 163. Works number was 10373 in October 1889.

One of several locomotives ordered by the equipment brokers Krajewski & Pesant. Its tiny dimensions were typical of these sugar tanks. The operator was the Santa Catalina ingenio (one of five so named) operating in Las Cruces.
