Data from MNGHLA 12 - 1949 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive Rail Data Exchange.
One diagram notes that those H5s fitted with thermic syphons add 50 sq ft (4.65 sq m) to the firebox heating surface. That is the version shown in the specs, which also show twelve fewer boiler tubes as a result.
Engine 119 was fitted with a superheater that contributed 570 sq ft (52.95 sq m) to the total heating surface of 2 ,905 sq ft (269.9 sq m). To house the 30 5 3/8" superheater flues, the boiler lost 167 2" tubes. See H5SA (Locobase 7063) for the as-built superheated version of this class.

Twelve of these superheated Consolidations came from the Pittsburgh Locomotive Works (builder's numbers 55834-55839 and 58658-58663); Porter supplied the 13th (its number 6848).
