Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines, 1888, as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Vol 15, p. 90.
Works numbers were 10038 and 10046 in June 1889.
Despite its grandly scale name, the C, KC&T never made to either Chicago or Texas. It opened for traffic in July 1889, at which point the two tank locomotives shown in this entry went to work. In 1893, the railroad was reorganized as the Kansas City and Atlantic. (Again, its actual terminus of Smithville, Mo fell considerably short of the Atlantic Ocean.) It was reorganized again as the Kansas City & Northern in 1897 when the Union Terminal Company bought up all of the KC&A assets.
In January 1897, the #1 was sold to the UTC with the 2 following in May 1901.
