The LT-2500 was the final locomotive model produced by Lima-Hamilton before the company merged with the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1951.
All twenty-two units were purchased by the Pennsylvania Railroad. All examples of the LT-2500 locomotives were scrapped, and none are known to have been preserved.
