Grand Trunk had 2-4-4T's in Montreal Suburban service till the coming of larger 4-6-4T engines. They found their way to the Thousand Islands Railway in Gananoque. CNR scrapped them the 40's.

It just occurred to me this morning how similar certain industrial 4-4-0s were to Forneys. Like the Bachmann On30 specimens. I have to wonder if there were standard gauge variants. I'll need to investigate.
Well, the Illinois Central had 2-4-4T's (similar the the Bachmann On30 model, but bigger) and 2-4-6T's for suburban service.? Before electrification, transit elevated transit lines in Chicago, New York City and Boston used the 4-4-0RT Forneys.? A true Forney has a totally rigid frame and the main driver is blind.
