Proposed Infobox
[edit]Based on information parsed from the Article Cooke Locomotive and Machine Works plus a PDF at SteamLocomotive.info, known data (as of 25 June 2014) should format as follows:

I noticed that the attached Article apparently uses only the official Web page on UP.com for a source; I was hard-pressed, as of June 2014, to find additional hard data. Let's see whether some of our fellow Wikipedians have better success at hard data we can link to. - B. C. Schmerker (talk) 03:45, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
- Update: With additional information from TravBuddy.com, the Infobox, with additional wikilinks for knowns, should be as follows:
