Soo Line B-4 class
The Soo Line B-4 class were 0-6-0 steam locomotives constructed for the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railway (Soo Line) by the American Locomotive Company. Six (#344–349) were built at their Schenectady plant in 1915, with a further five (#350–354) being constructed by their Brooks plant in Dunkirk, New York, in 1920.
They were the last, and largest design of purpose-built switch engines that the Soo Line owned, any
tank engine, numbered X-90 and used as a shop switcher. Rebuilt back to a tender engine in preservation.
