Data from the 1902 Manhattan Railway Company locomotive diagram book supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive Rail Data Exchange. See also "New Locomotives for the New York Elevated Railways", Engineering News and American Railway Journal, Volume 3, (15 February 1894), pp. 141-142. According to Brennan's history -- [], accessed 28 October 2005. Baldwin (works numbers 4369, 4371-4374 in June 1878; 4399, 4402, 4408 in August; 4412, 4419 in September) and Rhode Island Locomotive Works (works numbers 719, 715-718 in August 1878; 725-729 in September).
These were originally built as 0-4-0ST saddle-tank locomotives, to which a trailing axle was later added. The other dimensions remained unchanged.
See Locobase 5423 for a more general discussion. The boiler pressure is an estimate as the diagrams do not give the figure.
