As big as the 1891 FC O de G Mogul may have been for the 3-foot gauge (Locobase 11992), this one was bigger. Indeed, it was the biggest Mogul on the skinny rail to that date. It had some interesting features that included a a wide firebox for the gauge and a combustion chamber that added 20 sq ft (1.86 sq m) to firebox heating surface area.
The Mulua was rated to haul 116 long tons up a 3 1/2% grade. The railway's ruling grade of 3.2% included 4 curves of 11 and 12 degrees. Its steepest straight grade sloped up at 3.7%.
Renumbered by the Guatamala Railway, the 91 had a relatively short career. It was retired by 1928.
Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 17, p. 87. Works number was 12146 in August 1891.
This was one of the largest Moguls produced for the 3-foot gauge.
