About: ALCO RSD-15

An Entity of Type: mean of transportation, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Alco RSD-15 is a diesel-electric locomotive built by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) of Schenectady, New York between August 1956 and June 1960, during which time 75 locomotives were produced. The RSD-15 was powered by an Alco 251 16-cylinder four-cycle V-type prime mover rated at 2,400 horsepower (1.79 MW); it superseded the almost identical Alco 244-engined RSD-7, and was catalogued alongside the similar but smaller 1,800 hp (1.34 MW) RSD-12, powered by a 12-cylinder 251-model V-type diesel engine.

  • The Alco RSD-15 is a diesel-electric locomotive built by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) of Schenectady, New York between August 1956 and June 1960, during which time 75 locomotives were produced. The RSD-15 was powered by an Alco 251 16-cylinder four-cycle V-type prime mover rated at 2,400 horsepower (1.79 MW); it superseded the almost identical Alco 244-engined RSD-7, and was catalogued alongside the similar but smaller 1,800 hp (1.34 MW) RSD-12, powered by a 12-cylinder 251-model V-type diesel engine. The locomotive rode on a pair of three-axle Trimount trucks with all axles powered by General Electric model 752 traction motors. These trucks have an asymmetrical axle spacing because of the positioning of the traction motors. The six-motor design allowed higher tractive effort at lower speeds than an otherwise similar four-motor design. The RSD-15 could be ordered with either a high or low short hood; railfans dubbed the low short hood version "Alligators", due to their unusually long low noses. (en)

  • Тепловоз RSC-2 — шестиосный тепловоз с кузовом капотного типа выпускавшийся с августа 1956 по июнь 1960 на заводе American Locomotive Company. На тепловозе был установлен 16-ти цилиндровый V-образный четырёхтактный дизельный двигатель ALCO 251 развивавший мощность 2400 л.с. Крупнейшим эксплуатантом этой серии тепловозов была дорога Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway имевшая в своём распоряжении 50 секций. Один тепловоз принадлежал Canadian Pacific Railway. Множество тепловозов этой серии ещё эксплуатируются, но несколько сохранены как экспонаты музеев. В (англ. Illinois Railway Museum) сохранён тепловоз № 2407 ранее эксплуатировавшийся . Также тепловозы есть в (англ. California State Railroad Museum) и (англ. Arkansas Railroad Museum). (ru)
