Chesapeake & Ohio and Virginian Railway
Class K-4 and BA Berkshire Steam Locomotive 2-8-4
The C&O and Virginian 2-8-4
locomotives were known for dependable performance on "fast manifest freight and
coal trains" in eastern flat lands, the Appalachian, Allegheny and Pocahontas coalfield
regions. A total of 90 C&O Kanawha type class K-4 by American Locomotive Company
and Lima Locomotive Works, were dual purpose locomotives for freight and

primarily in fast freight service with limited use on coal trains due to
tonnage constraints by severe track grades.
