Title:
NYC RF-16A #1213 - New York Central
Description:
Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works as NYC 3813 in January of 1950, this was a 1,600-horsepower (1,200 kW) cab unit-type diesel locomotive built for freight service. All RF-16s were configured with a B-B wheel arrangement and ran on two AAR Type B two-axle road trucks, with all axles powered. The RF-16s came equipped with a retractable, nose-mounted drop coupler pilot. Eventually the unit along with several other sister units was sold to the Monongahela Railway in 1968 but by 1971 all but two were sold for scrap. No photographer listed for the photo.
