[sawman3333]

That's just a low nose version of the high hood, yet I can't remember the name!

[Pageboy76]

It could be a baldwin type.

[Pageboy76]

It looks like a crossover of a ALCO and a EMD/GE...COOL.

[generationll]

Have seen that one before.With that big of a snout could it be a Alco?

[oversearailway]

Yeah, I used to run that critter in the Washington Terminal. Vibrated horribly, but glad to say I at least got to run one for a while.

[amtrak393]

THAT IS AN RS3 I HAVE THAT LOCO IN TRAINZ 2009

[rocketdude1979]

I believe it's last Amtrak Assignment was Washington DC

[rocketdude1979]

It was a former NYC RS3 that came to Amtrak via the Penn Central when the Northeast Corridor was conveyed to Amtrak as part of the creation of Conrail. Amtrak had a number of RS3's for work trains and switching (many were replaced in the 1980's by CF7's) but 3 soldiered on after they had been rebuilt in the New Haven Shops with 1200 hp EMD Primemovers pulled from retired E-Units. The 104 had it's nose chopped a section of the long hood raised to accomadate the slightly taller EMD Primemover.

[rocketdude1979]

Amtrak used it until 1996 or 97 when it first came to Cape Cod when purchased by Cape Cod RR Affiliated "Shoreline Locomotive" as it's 6055, it then was sold to Connecticut Central where it became 1201, Ct. Central was sold to Providence and Worcester where it became # 120, then it came back to Cape Cod in 2000 as Cape Cod Central # 1201 where it was dubbed "LuluBelle."

[Bahnchef1994]

Very nice.

[murjax]

Very nice! 104 is ex-NYC.

[newflyer500]

One of the older locomotives that wher inuse during the early 90s.

[TKDMaster20114]

hey great shot of 104. 104 is an RS3 that was rebuilt by amtrak. The nose was lowered and an EMD motor was place on top, the loco currently works on the Cape Cod Central as engine 1201
