It is one of several "stock" switchers equipped with a slope-backed tender. During the first nineteen years of its existence, the engine worked at the Baldwin Locomotive Works plant in Eddystone, Pennsylvania. Painted in Baldwin's standard olive green with aluminum trim and lettering livery, the engine labored hauling raw materials and ...
This was the standard light switcher locomotive of the USRA types, and was of 0-6-0 wheel arrangement in the Whyte notation, or "C" in UIC classification. A total of 255 locomotives were built under USRA control; these were sent to the following railroads:
The Pennsylvania Railroad's class B6 was its most successful class of switcher locomotive, or as the PRR termed them "shifter". The PRR preferred the 0-6-0 wheel arrangement for larger switchers, whereas on other railroads the 0-8-0 gained preference. The PRR generally used 2-8-0s when larger power was required.
Treated for classification purposes as two 2-8-0s back to back. HH1 - 2-8-8-2 Norfolk & Western class Y3 borrowed by PRR during World War II. Articulated electric: AA1 - experimental 0-4-4-0 or B-B electric locomotives. BB1 - two-unit prototype AC electric 0-6-0+0-6-0 switching locomotive, later split into single units as class B1.
The FM H-10-44 was a switcher locomotive produced by Fairbanks-Morse from August, 1944–March, 1950. The units featured a 1,000-horsepower (750 kW), six-cylinder opposed piston prime mover, and were configured in a B-B wheel arrangement mounted atop a pair of two-axle AAR Type A trucks, with all axles powered. Many H-10-44s received ...
Early Electro-Motive Corporation switcher locomotives were built with Winton 201-A engines. A total of 175 were built between February 1935 and January 1939. Two main series of locomotives were built, distinguished by engine size and output: the straight-8, 600 hp (450 kW) 'S' series, and the V12, 900 hp (670 kW) 'N' series.
The ALCO RSC-3 was a diesel-electric locomotive of the road switcher type rated at 1,600 horsepower (1,200 kW), that rode on three-axle trucks, having an A1A-A1A wheel arrangement. [ 1 ] Used in much the same manner as its four-axle counterpart, the ALCO RS-3 , though the axle load was spread out for operation on light rail such as are found on ...
The ARB verified the prototype locomotive as passing the Tier 4 standard. [3]: 4 Following the success of the prototype locomotive, Amtrak selected NRE to rebuild some of its existing EMD SW1000R switcher locomotives into 2GS12B switchers. The SW1000R fleet was initially built as EMD SW9 switchers and had been rebuilt in 1994 by NRE. [4]
