Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Volume 21, p. 233. Works number was 16103 in August 1898.
Specs called for this burly, short-stroke tank to haul 183 tons up a 5% grade that ran for 3 miles on the 20 miles (later 30 miles) of road. Later operated by the El Paso & Northeastern, which became the El Paso & Southwestern. The EP & SW converted the 101 (by now 420) to an 0-8-0 switcher in 1912. Renumbered 1300 by the Espee and reclassed SE-1, the engine served until scrapped in July 1934.
