I was being facetious.
It seems that almost every railroad rostered a steam locomotive called a "T1."
- Philadelphia & Reading T1 4-8-4
- Chesapeake & Ohio T1 2-10-4
- Baltimore & Ohio T1 4-8-2
- Canadian Pacific T1 4-8-4
- Chicago Great Western T1 2-10-4
- Chicago & West Michigan / Flint & Pere Marquette T1s
I could go on, but you get the picture...
