Baldwin RP-210

The Baldwin RP-210 was a streamlined 1,000 horsepower locomotive built in 1956 by Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton to run with the experimental all-aluminum Train-X coaches of Pullman-Standard. It was Baldwin's attempted entry into the lightweight passenger locomotive market, but only three of the low-slung diesel-hydraulic units were produced: one for the New York Central's Ohio Xplorer and a pair for the New Haven's Dan'l Webster. The New Haven units, with three independent power systems, were among the most complex locomotives in America. The RP-210 was the last locomotive design to bear the BLH name, and it and its trains failed to meet their goals, so its service life was short.
