The Baldwin VO-660 was a diesel-electric switcher locomotive built by Baldwin Locomotive Works between April 1939 and May 1946. These units weighed between 197,520 and 203,980 pounds, were powered by a six-cylinder diesel engine rated at 660 horsepower and rode on two-axle AAR Type-A switcher trucks in a B-B wheel arrangement. A total of 142 were built for American railroads and the United States Navy. Baldwin replaced the VO-660 with the DS-4-4-660 in 1946. In the early 1960s the Reading Company sent all ten of its VO-660s to General Motors Electro-Motive Division to be rebuilt to SW900 specifications with new frames and cabs.
