The Pittsburgh and Lake Erie class A-2a was a class of seven 2-8-4 Berkshire type steam locomotives that ALCO built at Schenectady, New York for the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad in 1948. A Berkshire has a two wheel leading truck, eight driving wheels and a four wheel trailing truck. The locomotives carried road numbers 9400 through 9406, were delivered between May and June 1948 and had tenders built by Lima that carried 22 tons of coal. They were the last steam locomotives ever produced by ALCO. The class had a short working life, because all seven were retired in August 1956 and scrapped in 1957.
