Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 43, p. 251 and Vol 48, p. 307.. See also The History Center of Diboll, Texas at []. Works numbers were 34346 in September 1912 and 40461 in September 1913.
The 12's specification has a typical notation for a Baldwin Prairie headed for a logging tram road:"Spring rigging throughout engine and tender to be extra heavy for very roughest service and track." The 11's equalizers and springs had proven too weak, according to the spec.
The 11 served the Southern Pine Lumber Company until it was scrapped in 1957. The 12 was sold to Pickering Lumber Company. Renumbered 25, the engine served for years more. It was scrapped in May 1939.
Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification C - 6159 as archived at The History Center of Diboll, Texas at [], last accessed 12 February 2012. See also DeGolyer, Volume 62, pp. 401+. Works number was 52359 in September 1919.
This small logging Prairie's cylinders were supplied through 8" (203 mm) piston valves. Although its tender was lettered for Southern Pine Lumber Company, the engine ran on the SPLC's railway. In that service, it confronted ruling grades of 1 to 3% and maximum grades (probably on spurs) of 6%.
By 1936, the 14 had moved to Temple Lumber Company.
