Data from Flanagan, The Cavan & Leitrim Railway (1968), p 114.
This single Prairie tank was the builder's works #555. On the TDR, this was an oil-fired engine using Holden's patented burner design. Starr notes that a 2-6-2T arrangement was uncommon in such operations, but that the ability to run in either direction without using a turntable may have led to its purchase. Perhaps, he notes, but "it always was [turned]!". According to Simon Starr on the website [
