The Pennsylvania Railroad's class J28 comprised 2 experimental 2-6-2 "Prairie" type steam locomotives.
In 1905, the Pennsylvania Railroad needed a better steam locomotive, than the class E 4-4-2 "Atlantic" type. So, the railroad ordered two 2-6-2s from Alco-Schenectady. They were tested extensively and failed in railroad service. But, they were still on the roster in the late 1920s.
The two J28s had 14.83 inch drivers, a 34.25 inch engine base. They had a Stephenson Valve Gear and weighed 377500 pounds with the tender. They had 27504 pounds of tractive effort. They had 89 square feet (8.3 m2) of firebox space. They had a grate area of 54 square feet (5.0 m2). They could 7000 gallons of water and 13.5 tons of coal. Despite these specifications and more, the J28 was not a powerful enough Pennsylvania Railroad steamer.
