Class 1 (Locobase 15011)

Data from Roy V Wright (Ed.) 1922 Locomotive Cyclopedia of American Practice, Sixth Edition (New York: Simmons-Boardman Publishing Company, 1922), p. 1002. Works number was 56712 in November 1916.

The Central America sugar mill was located at Contramaestre in Oriente Province, about 491 miles (790 km) from Havana and not far from both Guantanamo and Santiago de Cuba. After the 1959 Revolucion and nationalization, it was renamed America Libre.

This little Mogul was ordered by Krajaewski & Pesant (export dealer),

Class 4 (Locobase 14850)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 64, p. 108. See also John Paul Rathbone, The Sugar King of Havana: The Rise and Fall of Julio Lobo, Cuba's Last Tycoon (New York: Penguin Press, 2010), esp. pp. Works number was 54237 in January 1921.

Ordered by the Central Rosalia, this oil-burning plantation Mogul was resold before delivery to the Central Agabama, which presented curve radii of a relatively tight 235 feet (71.6 m).

The latter mill was located in Santa Clara Province about 205 miles (331 km) southeast of Havana on the Rio Agabama. The area was known both for coffee growing and sugar cane.

John Rathbone says that Julio Lobo's success in amassing a sugar empire was not undiluted by occasional failure. The Central Agabama was the site of his "most spectacular mistake" when in 1926 he bought the CA from the British bank that held the mortgage. "With sugar prices so low, it was the worst possible time to buy."

Class 5 (Locobase 15347)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 78, pp. 22+. Works number was 58613 in August 1925.

Locobase can find very little information about this sugar central, other than it was located in Cuba and was owned by the Cuban Dominican Development Corporation as part of a reorganization that included Santa Ana Sugar Corporation and Sugar Estates of Oriente. It was formed early in the century as the Ingenio Alta Gracia and had a 4-mile (6.4 km) narrow-gauge railway.

In the mid-1920s, the now-standard gauge operator bought this standard Baldwin oil-burning plantation Mogul.

Class 5 (Locobase 14790)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 63, p. 364+. Works number was 52102 in July 1919.

Perhaps the specification's repetition of the caution that the railway was laid with 60 lb/yard (30 kg/metre) rail in "swampy ground" suggests the reason for a reduction in the size of the Baldwin wood-burning plantation Mogul that the CA ordered in 1919. Compared to the Antonio Alvarez of 1916 (Locobase 14377), the 5 rode more lightly.

The railway measured 25 km (15.5 miles) and had water and fuel at both ends. As the tender could carry either wood or coal, the 5 was presumably well provisioned. Its Improved Rushton cabbage stack arrested sparks from either fuel.

Class 6 (Locobase 13749)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Volume 36, p. 211 and Vol 64, p. 1+. See also Cesar J Ayala, American sugar kingdom: the plantation economy of the Spanish Caribbean 1898-1934 (University of North Carolina Press, 1999). Works number was 35782 in December 1910 and 53879 in December 1920.

A "Plantation Special"-- in Baldwin's way of categorizing their stock -- the first of these two Moguls was bought by the Compania Azucarera for the CA in Santa Clara Province. The Andreita was one of the larger central processing mills in the province and contributed to Santa Clara's leading position in 1913, a year in which it turned out more than 900,000 tons of sugar.

Ten years later (and 18,097 builder's numbers later), the 7 joined the 6.

The seis would later serve the Central Soledad. After the 1959 Revolucion, the Soledad wad taken over as the Central Pepito Tey and the 6 as their 1220. It was reported to still be "in existence" in 1995. The siete became the 1221 under Castro's government and was also reported to be in existence in 1995.

Class Antonio Alvarez (Locobase 14377)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 54 p. 105+. Works number was 42299 in August 1915.

Wood-burning plantation Mogul fated to travel on 60 lb/yard (30 kg/metre) rail "laid in a swamp."

Class Antonio Ortiz (Locobase 12831)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 28, p. 107. (Thanks to Ivo Rutishauser for his 21 September 2024 email alerting Locobase to a mismatch in gauge in the entry, but for pointing out that both widths were wrong.) Works number was 26941 in November 1905.

This narrow-gauge Mogul honored the Central Altamira's departed owner on behalf of his widow and children. It was they -- Senora Teresa Oarilla, Viuda E Hijos de Ortiz -- who were credited with ordering the locomotive through Krajewski Pesant on 18 April 1905.

Class Isabel (Locobase 14866)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Vol 64, p. 155. Works number was 52513 in November 1919.

At the same time this Coliseo, Matanzas Province mill bought the saddle tank described in Locobase 14865, it procured this oil-burning plantation Mogul.
