The performance objectives set for the class XP were running mileages of 200,000 mi (320,000 km) between overhauls, and a monthly average mileage of 10,000 mi (16,000 km). Both of these objectives were very ambitious for the time.

The basis for the class XP design was the boiler and firebox of the XB, with some modification to their details. The wheels and cylinders of the two classes had the same dimensions.

In the All-India renumbering of 1957, the two class XP locomotives were given the numbers 22599 and 22600, respectively. 1755: 1599: 1594: 1589: 1574: 1569: 1564: 1559: 1554: 1538: 1533: 1528: 1523: 1518: 1508: 1492: 1477: 1448: 1443: 1427: 1422: 1417: 1412: 1396: 1391: 1386: 1381: 1376: 1371: 1342: 1337: 1332: 1327: 1322: 1317: 1312: 1291: 1280: 1276: 1241: 1237: 1233: 1223: 1207: 1202: 1197: 1180: 1170: 1165: 1053: 1048: 1043: 1038: 715: 1740: 1109: 1104: 1099: 1094: 1089: 1074: 1069: 1022: 992: 987: 982: 977: 972: 951: 946: 941: 931: 926: 521: 484: 477: 1685: 1017: 1007: 1002: 997: 956: 936: 502:
The XP's boiler pressure was higher, and its tractive effort was greater, than those of both the XB and the XC.
