I just went to the Athern page at:

http://www.athearn.com/whatsnew/usra%202-8-2gen/usra2-8-2%20light.html

They are doing a limited re-release of the USRA Light 2-8-2 lettered
Burlington. The Burlington did not have any USRA light 2-8-2's, they did have
USRA HEAVY 2-8-2's class O-4 and numbered 5500- 5514. Five were sold to the
C&S and were munbered 804-809.
