Thanks, Glen.
The N-4-a Class consisted of locos 2515-2686, all built originally as Richmond compounds for the Grand Trunk Railway. Over the years, their appearance varied widely. Your photo of 2629 appears to show a non-lifting injector below the fireman's side of the cab, and the one on the other side would likely be the same. A photo of 2626 appears to have lifting injectors, although they're inside the cab. At least five of the class received Worthington BL-type feedwater heaters, including 2646, 2648, and 2654. Many of the class, if not all, had sheathed smokeboxes, too.
