Notes: Reference [15] states that this engine, along with 430 (CR-101) and 431 (CR-102) were standard gauge locomotives that were converted to narrow gauge by the D&RG. This statement is incorrect. Various sources indicate that this engine was nicknamed "Little Mudhen" in recognition of the fact that it was nearly as powerful as the class 125 (later class K27) "Mudhen" locomotives.
