These ten locomotives were built in 1918 by ALCO for the Virginian Railway. Due to size limitations en route, the locomotives were delivered without cab or the front, low pressure cylinders, which were installed on site. The low pressure cylinders at 48 inch (1.22 m) diameter were the largest ever used on a US locomotive; they had to be tilted slightly upward to provide sufficient clearance.

The tenders fitted were unusually small; this was to enable them to fit on the Virginian Railway's turntables.
