That fits the info I had heard on the ground in Haiti. I had wanted to see this locomotive in the vain hope that it might have been on of the Glover Locomotives exported to Haiti. It has the look of one of the major manufacturers although there is no sign of a builder's plate or scar where one might have been. On the engineer's side of the smoke box is a partial area of rust where a rectangular plate was fastened. To me that suggests that the engine is not a Baldwin. Beyond that my knowledge runs out.
