The Lima-Hamilton LT-2400 (sometimes referred to by its Specification Number - A-3177) is a diesel-electric transfer-unit locomotive, built by the Lima Locomotive Works between 1950 and 1951. The LT-2400 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 have been scrapped.
