The Baldwin AS-16, marketed as the BLH AS-16 by Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton, was a 1,625 horsepower diesel-electric locomotive that rode on two two-axle trucks in a B-B wheel arrangement. It followed Baldwin's DRS-4-4-1500 model and stayed in production until Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton left locomotive manufacturing in 1956. Nine railroads bought 127 of them, and five of those railroads had also bought the earlier model. Only one is known to survive: the former Missouri Pacific 4328, which went to Bethlehem Steel for the Iron Mines Company of Venezuela, later passed to Ferrominera Orinoco and now stands on display at the entrance of CVG Ferrominera Orinoco in Guyana City, Venezuela.
