Correct, she was one of 4 that saw service on a branch until around 1957. I have slides of one of her sisters and John West posted some here
for all a few years back. Mexico was big on ordering Baker motion for new locomotives and the narrow gauge got them too.
What puzzled me was that one of the steam crew in MT told me that 12 could be quite slippery. I looked at her weight on the drivers and it
was pretty substantial, doesn't add up to me.
Also, it's Alder Gulch.
