Bilty's 4-6-4s would have been the first of that wheel arrangement in North America, but not in the world. The Chemin du Fer du Nord in France had already built two such machines before the first world war, one of which survives in the French rialway museum in Mulhouses. It was the Nord which gave the wheel arrangement the name 'baltic', allegedly because they were built for an express service form Paris to the Baltic coast, but more likely because the Baltic is the only european sea ending in -ic, to match the Atlantic and Pacific. See the Locomotive Profile No 13 by Brian Reed, which deals with the Nord Pacifics and the two Baltics.
