Boston & Maine Mikados

The Boston & Maine leased five 2-8-2s from the Erie Railroad. They arrived in April of 1942. On the B&M they were designated as Class N and were numbered 2801-2805. These Mikados were deemed unsatisfactory for service on the B&M and were retuned to the Erie just a few months after they arrived.
