Here's another Minecraft ALCO build, this time it's the ALCO RSD-15 in the Santa Fe's Pinstripe Scheme.
The Alco RSD-15 was a diesel-electric locomotive of the road switcher type built by ALCO between August 1956 and June 1960, during which time only 75 locomotives were produced. The RSD-15 was powered by an Alco 251 16-cylinder four-cycle V-type prime mover rated at 2,400 horsepower; it superseded the almost identical Alco 244-engined RSD-7, and was catalogued alongside the similar but smaller 1,800 hp RSD-12, powered by a 12-cylinder 251-model V-type diesel engine. The locomotive rode on a pair of three-axle Trimount trucks with all axles powered by General Electric model 752 traction motors. These trucks have an asymmetrical axle spacing because of the positioning of the traction motors. The six-motor design allowed higher tractive effort at lower speeds than an otherwise similar four-motor design. The RSD-15 could be ordered with either a high or low short hood; railfans dubbed the low short hood version "Alligators", due to their unusually long low noses. Out of 75 locomotives only 6 RSD-15's survive today, all of them ex-santa Fe units, and out of those 6, 2 of them are operational.
Martin Turn on the Move by James Belmont Via Flickr: Utah Railway's Martin Turn departs Provo, Utah for the Carbon County coal mines the afternoon of May 21, 1977. The Alco power consist includes RSD-15s No. 400, 402, 401, 403 and RSD-12 No. 600. Behind the layer of carbon haze are 11 former Union Pacific passenger cars stored in the old Columbia Steel yard at Ironton.
What's Coming? by Joe McMillan Via Flickr: What's coming? This is what a westbound train departing the siding at Wilsey, Texas, looks like when it is accelerating with four Santa Fe 800-class Alco RSD-15s on the point, May 3, 1964. Wilsey was on Santa Fe's Hereford Sub –– Third District at the tme of the photo –– five miles east of the New Mexico state line. The main line was double-tracked through here in the mid-1990s, eliminating Wilsey siding. Extra 804 West will soon be in Clovis, New Mexico. That is U.S. Highway 60 on the left.
