Of course they did...the 201 class M-80 2-6-6-2 types, the 251 class M-137 2-8-8-2 types,
the 401 class 4-6-6-4 M-100 types and the 481 class GS-6 4-8-4 types. Also the ex- FEC
171 class 4-8-2s.

There were actually two classes of 2-8-8-2, forget just where the second order started.
The 4-8-2s had the same size 73" drivers as SP 2472, but slightly less power, real lightweights
for that type. That's why the NdeM also got some from the FEC account of their light rail.
