The "Alco-Schenectady Construction Number List" indicates that Construction Numbers 74380 through 74387, Road Numbers 3025 through 3032 were shipped to the "Mexican Government Railways" during August of 1946. All of these units were 4-8-4's and had a "Specified" total weight of 387,000 pounds (This is not necessarily the "Actual" total weight). If the Road Numbers increased sequentially with the Construction Numbers, Road Number 3027 would have been built under Construction Number 74382.
