Erie Railroad "Berkshire"

The name given to a 2-8-4, which dates to the 1920s in the U.S. The Erie Railroad bought more "Berkshire" type locomotives than any other railroad (105 in total) and was the only one to have purchased them from each of the big three locomotive builders: Alco, Baldwin and Lima. The road number here is not given (nor the date and location), but all were built over 1927-1929. More info here.
