Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Volume 31, p. 172. Works number was 32612 in January 1908.
Isle Royale Copper Company was incorporated in 1899 to merge the Isle Royale Consolidated Mining Company and the Miners Copper Company. The amalgamated entity had mines in Houghton County in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The 5-mile (8-km) railway joined the mine and its mills with a junction with the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic and sported relatively gentle 9-degree (417 ft/127 metres radius) curves, but relatively severe 4% grades on 60-70 lb/yard (30-35 kg/metre) rails.
A "Hereafter" note recorded more than seven years later (19 May 1915) asked that the "Spring links to be strengthened, as those on 8 34 D402 have been breaking."
