Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Vol 64, p. 84 and Vol 72, pp. 15+. See also "Newsletter from Our Havana Office", Louisiana Planter and Sugar Manufacturer, Vol LX, No 18 (4 May 1918), p. 278. Works number were 52586 in November 1919 and 57797 in June 1924.
The CNSdelC was located at Jaruco in La Habana Province just east of the capital. Its mill was given high marks for the "particularly clean and good grade of sugar" in a 1918 report. The little railway was strictly for moving cane cars. Its 25 lb/yard (12.5 kg/metre) rails suggest as much as do the minimum radii of 68 metres (223 feet). A note in the specifications states that the United Railways of Havana ran its standard-gauge tracks into the Central's yard and that the narrow-gauge tracks were laid inside of the wider set on a common centerline. Thus "no unusual side swing of the couplers is necessary." The second plantation Mogul had slightly (very slightly) different specs, the biggest difference being a one-ton (907 kg) increase in adhesion weight. The 5 was later sold to the Central Paraguay. After the 1959 Cuban Revolucion and expropriation, the CP was renamed for Rafael Freyre.
