The RS-2 was Alco's first roadswitcher to incorporate its new 244-Series
prime mover. The 1,500-horsepower units were designed for versatility
- they were equally at home working road freights or switch runs. If
equipped with a steam generator, they were adept at working commuter
and secondary passenger runs. Production began in 1946 with just over
350 units constructed for U.S. and Canadian roads before the unit was
succeeded by the 1,600-horsepower RS-3 in 1950 (although a few late RS-2s
were rated at 1,600 horsepower).
RS-2s have worked for Class I, shortline and industrial lines across
the continent. The engines have been long lived, with one survivor still
holding down daily freight duties in 2007. A few others still see service
at museum and tourist lines.
