Thanks NKP_174, I think that just might be the historical group that I was looking for. I'll give them a shot tomorrow.
& Nachoman as far as 2-8-2's get, they don't get much bigger. The CNJ wasn't ready to retire them until the Baldwin DR-44-1500's and EMD F-3's put the final nail in the coffin for steam on the Central. Up until that time the CNJ was looking towards something like the Challengers used on the D&H as a possible upgrade in steam freight power. The road crews used to say they could pull everything out of the Jersey city yard including the track.
