Data from DeGolyer, Vol 64, pp. 5+. Works number was 54243 in January 1921.
The superheated steam in this oil-fired plantation Ten-wheeler was admitted to the cylinders through 8" (203 mm) piston valves. The 5, which was headed for an Oriente Province Central, was built as one of a pair, with the other to be delivered to the Central Cupey (Locobase 14806).
