| Description |
This is a C415 diesel locomotive built in July 1968 by the American Locomotive Company (Alco). The unit was used as Monongahela Connecting Railroad # 701. It is now on display at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in the town of Strasburg. Info. from rgusrail.com: "Monongahela Connecting Railroad # 701 is an Alco-built C-415 switcher with a 4-cycle Alco 251-F prime mover powering a General Electric GT581 generator to drive four General Electric 752 traction motors, one on each axle. It weighs 240,000 pounds and delivers 42,000 pounds of continuous tractive effort at 10 miles per hour with a top speed of 66 miles per hour. The C-415 was not a popular locomotive: only twenty-six were produced between 1966 and 1968 for seven different owners, including Hamersley Iron, headquartered in Perth, Australia. # 701 was delivered to the Monongahela Connecting Railroad in 1968. The Monongahela Connecting Railroad was a small industrial railroad with a line in downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It was a subsidiary of Jones & Laughlin Steel Company, although it also served other industries along the route. The Monongahela Connecting Railroad was also an early pioneer of dieselization, buying many early production models from Alco, General Electric, and other manufacturers. Now part of the Allegheny Valley Railroad, what remains of the Monongahela Connecting Railroad serves a few small industrial customers along the north bank of the Monongahela River." |
