Data from Roy V Wright (Ed.) 1912 Locomotive Cyclopedia of American Practice, Sixth Edition (New York: Simmons-Boardman Publishing Company, 1912), p. Works number is 29965 in July 1904.
See Locobase 14193 for a discussion of this North American banana grower and its growth. This little six-wheeler most likely preceded the 2-6-0 shown in that entry. Wright did not supply a full card of data in the Cyclopedia.
