Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 73, p. 369+. See also the Mississippi Rails' account of the BSW at [] . Works number was 57671 in March 1924.

Locobase describes the origins of the BSW at Locobase 14308. This Mikado was the largest locomotive on the BSW and was a sister to the 300 on Tatum Lumber Company's other line, the Bonhomie & Hattiesburg Southern (Locobase 15316)..

The 6 was later leased directly to the TLC's B&HS, which renumbered it 301. Shortly after that, however, the 301 was sold in 1940 to the Atlantic & East Carolina, which kept the road number and ran the locomotive for another decade before scrapping it in May 1952.
