Data from DBaldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Volume 27, p. 97. Works number was 24787 in November 1904.
One of the few Mexican camelbacks and probably the biggest. This engine was built for Conquista Coal & Coke, a subsidiary of Mexican Coal & Coke.Adopting the characteristic wide firebox was not because of the railroad's anthracite holdings, but rather to get more use out of the low-calorie coal that burned most completely in a soft draft.
Apparently not satisfactory, the 3 was sold in 1906 to the Internacional Mexicano as their #91. The IM in turn was taken over the Nacional de Mexico by 1911, at which point the 91 was renumbered to 570. 570 was retired in December 1923.
