This small Consolidation was delivered to the Narcisa Estates on Cuba in 1905 for work in sugar cane plantations. It was built by Baldwin as type 10-22E for the gauge of 700 mm or 2 ft 3 1/2 in. Originally built to burn wood or sugar canes, the photo suggests that it was later converted to oil firing. The photo was also taken after the locomotive was sold to the Obdulio Morales Estates. Under MINAZ (Ministerio del Azúcar), it got the number 1334. The locomotive could still be found on static display, but non-operational at Yaguajay in the nineties.
