[quote user="Overmod"] I suspect the A2a's you mentioned were NOT actually in that category, but might because of their driver size and other details have been assumed to be.[/quote] The A2a's indeed went to the Big Four (at least some) at least a year before the end of steam.  <a href="http://www.railarchive.net/nyccollection/ple9405.htm">http://www.railarchive.net/nyccollection/ple9405.htm</a> RR-fallen flags.org has two photos, one of an A2 at Indianapolis, IN and one in Belfontaine, OH, both in 1955.   New York Central Power in Color Vol 2 also shows an A2 in Indianapolis in 1955 and states that all the A2s went to the Big Four after the P&LE was dieselized.   I would think it plausible to find a MC Hudson running to Chicago or Toledo (I would have to verify with actual photos.   There is a pretty extensive photo collection here: <a href="http://rr-fallenflags.org/nyc/nyc-steam.html">http://rr-fallenflags.org/nyc/nyc-steam.html</a> See if you can find the locomotive type you want in the place you want.
