Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Vol 11, p. 147 Works numbers were 6498 in December 1882, 6678 in March 1883, and 6728 in April.
See 11587 for a history of the FC de Hidalgo y Nordeste. These small Eight-wheelers were the first locomotives on the line and bore the names Hidalgo, Humboldt, and Terreros.
