Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines, 1890, as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Vol 16, p. 69. Works number was 11035 in July 1890.
The M & GR was one of 3 railroads that set out from Manistee, Michigan to logging regions at several points of the compass. This short line was organized in November 1889 and eventually extended 70 miles southeast from Manistee to Tustin. The 1 was named after one of the railroad's original stockholders.
At the beginning, the railroad apparently all the backers could have wanted. When surveyed in 1909, the road was reported to be lightly built, using 60 lb/yard (30 kg/metre) rail on "fair" ties. There was no separate passenger service by this time.
Four years later, the M&GR was sold to foreclosure to the Michigan East & West Railway. The line between Manistee to Tustin in 1916 following the clearing of the forests along its right of waty.
NB: Heating surface data is derived from comparison with the Kearney & Black Hills order of the same year, (Locobase 11697) which has identical firebox dimensions as well as identical tube counts, diameters, and length.
