It can be considered one of the most successful four-axle diesel road-switchers ever produced by the builder. ALCO’s Canadian subsidiary, MLW, produced an additional 146 RS-3s in Canada. These 1,600hp locomotives were powered by an ALCO 244 V-12 engine which was complemented by rugged GE electrical components. The RS-3 was truly a versatile locomotive. It could be found in virtually every type of service from passenger and commuter runs to heavy-haul and local freight assignments. Original owners of the RS-3 tended to be in the eastern and central regions of the US (with heavier concentrations in the northeast and southeast).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring this same time-period, ALCO offered a six-axle road-switcher which was more commonly found in the west. The RSD4\/5 was externally very similar to the RS-3, having six-axle trucks as an obvious spotting feature. They produced the same 1,600hp as an RS-3, but offered increased tractive effort due to the use of a larger generator. Many RSD-4\/5s were assigned to operate in mountainous territory (with varying degrees of success) on the Southern Pacific, Santa Fe and the Utah Railway.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlas Model Railroad Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50060663226614,"sku":"AHO-10005095 ","price":159.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/0560\/files\/h10005095_c2548277-96cc-485a-8c05-c66e86839e95.jpg?v=1772387912","url":"https:\/\/mrmuffinstrains.com\/products\/aho-10005095","provider":"MrMuffin'sTrains","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
