Not quite overseas, but up in Canada, as noted on the previous page, there were also boxcab electric locomotives, apparently similar to the surviving #6711, pulling trains through the 1890 St. Clair (Sarnia) tunnel on the Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada's St. Clair Tunnel Co. between Port Huron, Michigan, and Sarnia, Ontario (about 40 miles NNE of Detroit, Michigan/Windsor, Ontario). There is an excellent photograph of StCT #1308* from the collection of the Canada Science and Technology Museum at Railways > Before CN 1850s-1919 > Locomotives and Equipment. The StCT also had different paired units in the 9150-series ca. 1927 or earlier.
Here is an excellent photograph of #1308* {see above}, from the collection of the Canada Science and Technology Museum at Railways > Historic CN 1919-1963 > Locomotives and Equipment; it is the property of the Museum and I have received specific, written permission to reproduce it here (for which I am exceedingly grateful):
