None survived Ned, likely because the branch that they worked passenger
trains on was standard gauged in the mid 50's.

Very close in specs to the pair of Uintah locomotives. They had 43" drivers
instead of 42" and that dropped t.e. a proportionate amount. They also had
more weight on the drivers than the others did when converted to tender engines.

One other interesting difference is that the Mexican engines had Baker valve motion,
a feature that was not uncommon in the country.
