No Berkshires on the Rio Grande. They did have some pretty impressive Mountain types, though.

The Milwaukee Road also had no Berkshires, but a Lima Demo can run anywhere prototypically - so I run my Lima Demo Berkshire on my Milwaukee-themed layout.

As shown in the list above, Grande also had some impressive 4-8-4's, but I did not need to refer to the list, for some mfr. once did a Grande-painted Berkshire, which I eschewed after I did my homework. Falls in the fantasy category, and might as well

be pink.
