mark s posted:Norfolk Southern #1 had small, clean-lined 2-8-4's that were sold to the Nacionales de Mexico, and worked until about late 1962/early 1963 in Mexico. These were the last North American 2-8-4's in regular service. Some other often over-looked 2-8-4's domiciled out east were owned by the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton, the Richmond, Fredricksberg & Potomac and the Toronto Hamilton & Buffalo.
If I recall correctly the Norfolk Southern's 2-8-4's were the smallest of that wheel arrangement built.
