Data from DeGolyer, Vol 64, pp. 229. Works number was 53445 in July 1920.
A tiny six-coupled design, this engine was described as a plantation locomotive. Its owner processed salt, however. Locobase notes that the design was produced as a saddle tank a few months later for a Hawaiian sugar grower (Locobase 14752), but cannot say if the Salinera was converted to gasoline power like the sugar engine.
