Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 21, p.144. Works numbers were 15776-15778 in March 1898.
The Spanish Corps of Military Engineers bought this trio of Moguls and appropriately specified royal names: Alfonso XIII (then King), Maria Cristina (his queen), and Princesa Mercedes.
They were intended for the Cauto Railway in Cuba. Specs called for a 70-ton trailing load on 2% grades and the ability to negotiate 75-100-metre curves. On the level, one of these blue-bloods was to haul 450 tons.
