The ALCO RSD-15s were built between 1956 and 1960 in Schenectady, New York. Rated at 2,400 horsepower these versatile locomotives were known as a Jack of all trades as they were suited for mainline freight as well as passenger service. They also saw duty as a yard switcher! Railroads could order the RSD-15 with either a high or low front hood. The low hood versions quickly donned the nickname of Alligators.
