If you define "articulated" as cars that share the same truck at one or both ends, it isn't a terribly long list and mainly confined to pre-WW2. Obviously whole train sets like the CB&Q Zephyrs and similar 1930's consists come to mind. That would include B&M/MEC (Flying Yankee); IC (Green Diamond) and CNS&M (Electroliner). If you get into non-powered car articulation, the list is pretty decidedly western; probably owing to longer hauls and less terminal switching: CRI&P, SP and the Overland Route (UP C&NW). From a quick look, it appears the SP was the only railroad to have any brand new articulated cars built after 1941.
In addition to the Algoma Central car Tom References, one of the UP-C&NW car sets, articulated on a Triple Bolster truck, still exists at the Illinois Railroad Museum in Union, IL. I'm sure I missed some railroad here, but these are the main sets filling the definition above.
