Grand Trunk Western (part of the CN system in the US) had some 4-6-4T's. Very similar engines were built soon after by the Central RR of  New Jersey.

Tank engines
Posted by Krokodil on Friday, August 7, 2009 4:51 AM

Is there any list of main road US tank engines (single frame locomotives without a tender). I know they were not very common on US RRs, but perhaps somebody put together some list.

(exclude please the portier, saddle tank, Forney and othe small logging locomotives or shunters and of course Thomas and his Friends Smile).

 

Any source is appreciated.
