Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Vol 64, p. 56. Works number was 54226 in December 1920.
This oil-burning plantation Consolidation was one of two originally ordered by Central Mascota in June 1920. For whatever reason, both were resold to other buyers. The Central Hatillo was established in Oriente Province by German interests. In 1909, this mill was recorded as having one locomotive traversing a 1 1/2 mile (2.4 km) railway laid to the 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) gauge on 25 lb/yard (12.5 kg/metre) rail between the mill and Paraiso.
Acquired by West Indian Sugar in 1919, the CH operated for another ten years before closing in 1928-1929. At that point, the 103 went to the nearby Central Santa Ana. When that mill's ownership was expropriated after the 1959 Revolucion, it was renamed for Bartolome Maso and the 103 renumbered 1757.
