This is a MTH 30-20386-1 O Long Island Alco Rs-1 Diesel Engine with Proto-Sound 3.0 #461. The American Locomotive Company pioneered the multi-purpose road switcher design in 1941 with its 1000 hp RS-1. Alco’s designers added a second, shorter hood to a basic switcher to make room for a steam boiler for passenger train heat. The short hood also afforded the crew additional accident protection. Smoother-riding trucks made the RS-1 suitable for the higher road speeds that would be daunting in a typical switcher. Although EMD’s later GP7 and GP9 sold better and really established the road switcher as a universal locomotive, the RS-1 had the longest production run of any American-made diesel. The last new RS-1 left Alco’s shops in 1960.
