The locomotives were to be wood burners with Baker-Pilliod valve gear, 15 x 20 inch cylinders (Baldwin class 10-24 1/2 E Numbers 119, 128 to 130), and 160 lbs. boiler pressure, giving a tractive force of 17,000 pounds. The weight was to be 83,000 lbs. Maximum track curvature was to be 197 feet radius.
