Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 29, p. 174. Works numbers were 29036-29076 in September 1906; 29188-29193 in October.
Although William Van Horne's railroad in eastern Cuba would eventually run hundreds of miles and operate 175 locomotives, Baldwin would contribute only a handful.
The specification record includes an extended typed "Hereafter" note in which several detail changes are recorded. Important controls need to be moved closer to the engineer so he can operate the Johnson bar, brake lever, and lubricator while backing up the locomotive and looking out the window. The cab needs to have full deck, "to give more room and ventilation and not get engineer wedged alongside boiler."
As happened almost inevitably in locomotives in plantation and logging service, the operator came back to Baldwin saying the springs for the drivers and trucks were too weak and needed to be strengthened. Another note says that water tank capacity should be 1,500 US gallons as specified by "Mr Knight" and "that we have given him only 1,345 gals by actual measure." Coal capacity was also said to be short of specification as well.
NB: Locobase estimates both grate area and heating surface areas by comparing data with the known figures for the 1907 Algoma Lumber Company #2 shown in Locobase 14307. All of the relevant dimensions are identical to the quarter-inch (6.35 mm); these include the tube count, diameter, and length; firebox length, width, and front and back depths, cylinder volume. In addition, all of the other data clearly show the two designs to have been identical.
