The Baldwin VO-1000 was a diesel-electric switcher locomotive built by Baldwin Locomotive Works between January 1939 and December 1946. It was powered by a naturally aspirated eight-cylinder diesel engine rated at 1,000 horsepower and rode on two two-axle trucks in a B-B wheel arrangement, either AAR Type-A switcher trucks or the Batz truck that the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe had developed as a leading truck for steam locomotives. Baldwin built 548 for American railroads, including the Army and Navy, and its design was the basis of 30 Co-Co road locomotives for the Soviet Union and of the French DRS-6-4-660NA. At least eight intact examples survive.
