===Canada=== The [[Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo Railway]] (TH&B) was the only Canadian railway to operate 2-8-4 Berkshires. Only two locomotives were ordered from the [[Montreal Locomotive Works]] (MLW) in 1927, works numbers 67573 and 67574. They were the last new steam locomotives to be ordered by the TH&B and were allocated road numbers 201 and 202. They were fitted with Coffin [[feedwater heater]]s and duplex stokers, and had a working order weight of 128 tons. After being equipped with [[Automatic Train Control]] (ATC) in 1929, they were the only TH&B freight locomotives which were allowed to run on [[New York Central Railroad|New York Central]]βs tracks, on the [[Welland]]-[[Buffalo, New York|Buffalo]] line. Due to dieselisation, both were withdrawn from service in June 1953. Both locomotives 201 and 202 were scrapped in late 1953 .
