Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Volume 60, p. 127. Works numbers were 54135 in November 1920, 54198-54208 in December.
Following the SM main-line Pacifics of the 900 class into service, these were based on the Chosen lines and had more cylinder volume, a lower boiler pressure, a larger grate, but smaller firebox with 18.3 sq ft of arch tubes. The Chosen engines also had a longer engine wheelbase, but a smaller tender.
