Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works, Record of Recent Construction ((1903), No. 35, p. 172-173. See also Fred W Westing, The Locomotives that Baldwin Built (New York: Bonanza Books, 1966), p. 50 ; and DeGolyer, Volume 24, p. 82. Works number was 20316 in April 1902. See also Handbook of Texas Handbook of Texas Online, George C. Werner, "GALVESTON, HARRISBURG AND SAN ANTONIO RAILWAY," last accessed May 13, 2020, [] . The Galveston, Houston & Henderson connected the first two cities for the first time in 1860. From Virginia Point opposite Galveston Island to Houston, the railroad had just two curves (both around Harrisburg) in the 50 miles (80 km) of line. George Werner noted that the line was active in the Civil War, but its later history was checkered with bondholder disputes, Jay Gould depredations, and a dustup between the International Great Northern and the Missouri-Kansas-Texas. That last was finally resolved in 1895 in a sharing agreement and the road operated the GH&H for 25 years before ending all train service on the main line in 1920.
