Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines, 1888, as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Vol 15, p. 14.

Works numbers were 9838-9839 in February 1889.

The order book shows 4 locomotives, the second pair of which were originally numbered 36 and 37 and renumbered 55 and 57. Connelly's Baldwin record doesn't show these engines. The tender tanks were lettered "Habana".
