Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Volume 20, 126. Works numbers were 14798-14799 in April 1896 and 14976, 14992 in August
How tight were the clearances on this very narrow gauge railroad. Well, in addition to the requirement that one of these saddle-tanks pull 100 tons gross of cars and lading up a 1 1/2% grade at 5 mph, the engines must also be able to round 25-metre (82-ft) radius curves.
In 1906, the 60-km (37.3 mi) railway was reorganized as the Cazadero y Solis. In 1921, 4-5 locomotives operated on the Cazadero y San Pablo. After 25 more years of service, the C & SP sold the pair to Ingenio San Francisco El Naranjal, a sugar-refiner near VeraCruz.
At some point, 6 went to work for Compania La Primavera as their #1 and remained until it was retired in 1947.
