Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class Saltur (Locobase 15263)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Vol 72, pp. 96+. Works number was 58236 in February 1925.

For service on the 25 miles (40 km) of railroad operated by this railway & port company, this little Mogul provided a little more power than the switcher shown in Locobase 15084.
