The Uintah tank articulateds may have been the closest thing.
The Beyer-Garratts were mostly narrow-gauge but slim gauge articulateds were rare in the U.S. Quite possibly the bridges were 19th century and underbuilt and management did not want to upgrade what they regarded as already obsoleted. On the Rio Grande they had to uncouple the 2-8-2's and send them across the bridge near Cumbres one by one. And nobody wanted to buy the NdeM HR-01's. Sad.
