Little Moguls were a frequent vehicle for pulling the cane cars around a Cuban sugar plantation. This wood-burner went to the Compania Azucarera de Guines. It was soon sold in 1907 to Mexico's FC de Atlamaxac, possibly because it was too small and was to be replaced by the 2; see Locobase 12728.
When the Mexicano took over the Atlamaxac, it renumbered this little engine #4.

Very few plantation Moguls were superheated as these were and their difference is heightened by their use of wood fuel and the classic Radley & Hunter spark-arresting stack. 1 and 2 were ordered by the Sociedad Agricola de Moron and delivered were sent to the Central Patria in Havana Province.
See Locobase 14376 for the other three SAM engines that went to Central Palma at the other end of the island.

Another pair of standard Baldwin oil-burning plantation Moguls, the 1 and 2 headed for Cárdenas in Matanzas Province where they worked for most of the next 60 years. After the 1959 Revolucion and expropriation, both were renumbered (1530-1531). 1531 remained with the sugar central, which was renamed for JosT Smith Comas. 1530 originally served the Complejo Agro Cárdenas, but returned to the JosT Smith Comas later.

Very few plantation Moguls were superheated as these were. The 2 was delivered as a wood-burner with the unmistakeable Radley & Hunter balloon stack, but a note in the 1916 entry states that it was to be easily convertible to coal firing, but a later addition reports that the locomotive was converted to oil firing in 1919. The order for 3 and 4, on the other hand, notes that although they would be delivered as coal burners with straight stacks, the locomotives would be readily convertible to wood-burning.
The 6, on the other hand, was delivered as an oil burner. This required a larger tender weighing 92,000 lb (41,731 kg) that carried 2,000 US gallons (7,570 litres). Total engine weight was a little less at 93,500 lb (42,411 kg).
All were ordered by the Sociedad Agricola de Moron and delivered to the Central Palma in Palma Soriano (near Santiago de Cuba) near the eastern end of the island.

This small Mogul was ordered for this sugar central by Czarnikow-Rionda.

Included in the specifications for this plantation Mogul was a twice-stated admonition not to exceed the weight on the drivers. In one instance, the author cites "spongy track", which speaks of the sketchy right-of-way on which 40 lb/yard (20 kg/metre) rail was laid.

Also known as Ingenio Portugalete, this sugar refiner took delivery of these little Moguls to run on the 8 1/8-mile road from the mill to the junction with the Cuban Central. The Babita arrived first in 1909 as CP #3. Don Sotero arrived two years later as the CP #4 and the 5 a year later.

Matanzas Province hosted more than two dozen sugar mills. The Progreso operated at Progreso about 6 miles (9.7 km) from the port of Cárdenas. The port is about 175 km (109 miles) east along the north coast of Cuba from Havana. This plantation Mogul burned heavy Tampico oil (as did many small oil-burners) and negoitated curves with radii of 112 feet (34.1 metres).
After the 1959 Revolucion and expropriation, the Progreso was renamed for JosT Smith Comas. By then, the Consuelo had been sold to the Central Mercedita. When the CM was renamed for Gregorio Arlee Manalich, the 1 was renumbered 1402.

This little Mogul was ordered by Krajewski & Pesant, a broker that bought locomotives for several sugar railroads in Cuba. It was identical to the 1889 engine described in Locobase 11638. The 8-km (5-mile) CP laid 25 lb/yard rail over which it operated 2 locomotives, one from Baldwin and one from Rogers.
