Baldwin DRS-6-4-1500

The Baldwin DRS-6-4-1500 was a diesel-electric locomotive that Baldwin Locomotive Works produced between 1946 and 1952. One of Baldwin's heavy road switchers, it was rated at 1,500 horsepower, used a 608SC engine and rode on two three-axle trucks in an A1A-A1A wheel arrangement. As with nearly all Baldwin diesels, Westinghouse supplied its internal components such as the traction motors, generators and air equipment. In all, 91 units were sold in the United States and three North African countries: 29 went to seven American railroads between 1946 and 1948, and 62 went to Algerian, Moroccan and Tunisian railways between 1946 and 1952. The AS-416 replaced it in the Baldwin catalog in 1950, though export production continued until 1952.
