Data from "Heavy Shunting Locomotive for an American Automobile Factory", Locomotive Magazine, Volume XXX [30], Whole No 379 (15 March 1924), p. 84. Works numbers were 6690-6693 in June 1923.
This quartet of industrial switchers impressed the British editors as having "exceptional power for a machine devoted to the class of industrial service."
