Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 3 (Locobase 14851)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 64, p. 112+. Works numbers were 52336 in September 1919 and 54253 in January 1921

Small plantation six-coupled for a Central located in Oriente Province at La Demajagua (near Manzanillo). As so often happened with a later order of what was to be a duplicate, the 4 weighed 2,500 lb (1,134 kg) more than the 3.
