Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Volume 30, p. 132. See also Oscar Zanetti Lecuona, Alejandro Garcfa Alvarez, Sugar & railroads: a Cuban history, 1837-1959 ( ), p.233. Works numbers were 28918-28919 in September 1906.
As noted in Locobase 13057, the 8 locomotives intended for the Morelia y Tacambaro in Guanajunto, Mexico were redirected to several other railroads.
Two of these went to the Caribbean for a railroad described by Zanetti & Garcia as "...one of the most fabulous cases of railroad speculation in the history of the neocolony [Cuba after the Cuban Revolution]." Located on the eastern shore of Guantanamo Bay, the 25-mile (40.7-km) railroad connected Boqueron and Sempre. See their discussion of the multiplication of railroad companies formed by the "...group of small-scale capitalists grouped around New York's Knickerbocker Trust Company."
The Panic of 1907 finished off the first round of formation of this "investment ruse". The railroad was reformed as the Guantanamo & Western in 1909.
