Data from DeGolyer, Volume 62, pp. . Works numbers were 50999 in December 1918, 51087 in January 1919.
See Locobase's brief description of the L&M at Locobase 6289. Like the later Mikados, these Consolidations were low-drivered, but had superheaters and relatively large 14" (356 mm) diameter piston valves.
When the L&M was sold to the Chicago & Western Indiana, these two were renumbered 218-219.
