Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 64, pp. 190. Works number was 54233 in January 1921.
The first of a pair of plantation Consolidations ordered by the Central Altimira, this engine instead went to this sugar-processing company based at Mariel in La Habana Province. It later worked for the Mercedita Sugar Company, which was renamed after the 1959 Revolucion and nationalization for Augusto Cesar Sandino and the engine was given number 1424.
