Note 1 One of these locomotvies was disposed of in 1909, No 1 in 1914 and the other two by 1918 (they might have been sold with #1)

Note 2 Various builders, not identified. Probably sold to contractors in late 1914-1915

Note 3 #22 scrapped May 1924, the other three probably disposed of in the same period, prior to 1926

Note 4 Sold or scrapped in 1917, these were the only two 4-8-0's to operate in Canada.

Note 5 Purchased new by the Manitoulin and North Shore (later Algoma Eastern Ry.) was lettered for the AC&HB. As Algoma Eastern #50, this locomotive was scrapped in 1927.

This roster is taken from the book "The Algoma Central Railway Story" by Dale Wilson, published by Nickel Belt Rails (out of print). For more technical information and (HO) scale drawings of ACR steam engines, see this book.
