With New York Central's streamlined Hudson being the most famous, what other railroad(s) had streamlined Hudsons?

Santa Fe
New Haven
Canadian Pacific (well, sort of)
C&NW
Milwaukee
CB&Q
C&O

Canadian Pacific had a handsome group of Hudson's they called the "Royal Hudsons" class h1x. 45 in all according to the Guide to North American Steam Locomotives. [^]

No one said that our neighbors to the north didn't have good taste!! [8D]

CB&Q -- "Big Alice the Goon"
C&O - -490 series streamlined for Chessie connections, one survives at the B&O RR museum.
The Milwaukie Road had some for the Hiawathas too.

Take care

While the Wabash P-1's weren't technically streamlined, they looked really good.

It's really kind of hard to support your local hobby shop when the nearest hobby shop that's worth the name is a 150 mile roundtrip.

The daylight was a 4-8-4 GS-4 not a Hudson, it is a Norhtern.
