Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 64, p. 44. See also "Central Virginia, Cuba", Louisiana Planter and Sugar Manufacturer, Vol LVIV, No 11 (15 September 1917), pp. 171-173. Works numbers were 54235-54236 in January 1921.
Typical Baldwin standard-gauge plantation Moguls, these two burned oil fuel. This sugar mill had opened on 12 July 1917 at Los Palacios, Pinar del Rio Province, as Central Virginia after only 196 days under construction. Los Palacios is 71 miles (114 km) southwest of Havana.
Central Virginia was renamed in 1918.
