Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 54, p. 177 and 179; Vol 64, p. 145 and Vol 78, p. 50. Works numbers were 43394 in May 1916, 45070 in February 1917, 52156 in August 1919, and 58778 in October 1925.
This plantation Consolidation design was well-suited for the sugar road for which it was bound. Rails weighed 41-45 lb/yard (20.5-22.5 kg/metres) and the railroad covered 27-28 km (16.8-17.4 miles). The second engine was named A F Goicoechea. The third and 4th, road numbers 5-6, were delivered after World War One and weighed about a ton more on the drivers and overall. The last specification included the instruction to lengthen the cab roof to better protect the crew and to eliminate the roof over the tender.
The Central San Jose was renamed Washington Sugar Company when it was bought by Czarnikow-Rionda in 1911. Some
Three of this quartet remained in service through the 1959 Revolucion and expropriation, when the CSJ was renamed for Augusto Cesar Sandino. 3 was renumbered 1350 and later reassigned to the Hermanos Ameijeiras mill, where it joined the 4, which bore 1351. Regauged for the 30" gauge in 1992, the 4 went to the Gregorio Arlee Manalich mill. The 6, also to be found at los Hermanos Ameijeiras, where it was numbered 1431.
