Diesel and Electric Locomotives

The Baldwin RT-624, sold as the BLH RT-624, was a twin-engined diesel-electric center-cab transfer locomotive built by Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton between August 1951 and February 1954. It was an improved version of the Baldwin DT-6-6-2000 and used six-cylinder turbocharged 606A prime movers. Twenty-four were built. Penn Central operated former Pennsylvania Railroad 8955 until October 1969, and it was scrapped in July 1970; no example was preserved.
