Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 2 (Locobase 13034)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 29, p. 257. Works number was 29935 in January 1907.

Typical sugar-plantation Mogul, this was a wood-burner (or possibly cane burner) that linke the sugar-cane fields near Manzanillo with the sugar mill and the wharves over 7 1/2 miles of 40-lb/yd (20-kg./metre) rails.
