No, the 4-6-4's were Baltics. The MILW had streamlined Atlantics, class A-1-
a.
There were only three roads who had the 4-4-4's in North America. They were
the Reading, the B&O and the Canadian Pacific.
The Reading had four of them built in 1915 called C1a. They lasted one year
before they were turned into 4-4-2's.
The B&O only had one. It was semi-streamlined, numbered 1 and built in
1934, called Lady Baltimore It lost its streamlining and was scrapped in
1949.
The CPR had two different classes. The first were the F2a Jubilees (3000 -
3004). It was truly streamlined and built around the same time as the
famous MILW Hiawatha Atlantics. None survive. 80" Boxspok drivers. By the
way, MLW services will be producing these in S scale next year, very small
quantity.
The second 4-4-4's built for the CPR were the F1a class Jubilees (2910 -
2929). The F2a's came first and were classed that way because of CPR
Atlantics. The Atlantics were scrapped and opened up the F1a classification
again. Two survive, 2928 at Delson Quebec and 2929 at Steamtown. Not quite
as elegant as the F2a's but nice just the same. 75" spoked drivers.
