Apparently the Central Cabaiguan couldn't take delivery of any of the locomotives it ordered in 1920. In this case the Central Carmita, located in Santa Clara Province, bought the two oil-burning plantatoin Consolidations.
After the Revolution, the Central Carmita was renamed as the Central Luis Arcos Bergnes.

This plantation Mogul was the first locomotive for this brand-new Central, which harvested its first sugar crop (21,000 bags) in 1917. The mill was located about 335 km (208 miles) east of Havana, in the center of the island.
Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 78, pp. 25+. Works number was 58800-58802 in October 1925.
About the only difference between this order and the several dozen others for Baldwin's 50-ton oil-burning plantation Mogul is the procurement of three at one time. It went to a Matanzas Province sugar mill about 150 km (93.2 mi) southeast of Havana.
After the 1959 Revolucion and expropriation, this Central was renamed Central Cuba Libre and the three 2-6-0s renumbered consecutively 1610-1612.
Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 36, p. 209. Works numbers were 35132 in August 1910 and 42231 in August 1915.
Conditions and demands on a sugar plantation didn't change much unless the Central either grew or shrank dramatically. So when the Cieneguita ordered a new plantation Mogul ten years after the last one (Locobase 12565), the new engine had only an increase in boiler pressure and a 2 1/2 ton weight growth to rebalance the factor of adhesion.
Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Vol 79, p.30+. Works number was 60212 in October 1927.
Of all the Baldwin Moguls delivered to Cuba over many decades, this plantation engine was perhaps the biggest. It had the biggest grate, most heating surface area, greatest engine weight, one of the largest fireboxes, and had one of the highest adhesion weights. Steam was admitted to the cylinders through 10" (254 mm) piston valves
After the 1959 Revolucion and expropriation, the Central Cuba was renamed Cuba Libre and the 8 was renumbered 1808.
Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Vol 18, p. 105. Works number was 13141 in January 1893.
A later locomotive with almost certainly (but not definitely) the same dimensions for the boiler and firebox was bought by Galban for the Central Precioso in 1905. Works number was 26988 in December 1905. See DeGolyer, Volume 28, p. 153.
