D&H RS3u 503 |
Description: |
Delaware & Hudson RS3u 503 at Mechanicville, New York on February 27, 1982, Kodachrome by Randy Kiser, Chuck Zeiler collection. This locomotive was built by Alco in September 1952 as D&H RS3 4107 (c/n 80307). Around September 1975, the D&H sent ten RS3's to Boise, Idaho to be remanufactured by Morrison-Knudsen. Eight units returned to the D&H, exchanging their Model 244 prime movers for Model 251C 12-cylinder diesels. The returning RS3u's (M-K designated them as model TE 56-4A) were numbered 501-508. However, 506 actually returned in Bicentennial paint as number 1976. All were rated at 2000 horsepower. The D&H RS3's were originally equipped with dynamic brakes which were located in the short hood. When the short hood was cut down, the dynamic brakes were relocated to the top of the long hood just behind the cab. In addition, to improve cooling and to make room for additional components, the long hood was raised six and one half inches. benefited from the rebuilding process, it turned out that they were a bit light on the rails and had a tendency to slip. The RS3u's lasted until 1988, when all were retired and scrapped, except for 506, which retained the Bicentennial paint and went to the Tioga Central. |

TE56-4A 504 |
Description: |
One thing about scanning slides, sometimes the slide looks okay and the scan reveals to you the picture was soft. Kind of edited this back... D&H RS3m (or MK TE56-4A if you prefer) #504 reseting on a foggy afternoon in Oneonta NY on December 29, 1979. My friend had been accepted to SUNY Oneonta and we decided on a wild whim to just drive up there (from Paramus, NJ). Obviously I had the camera with me, although I'm surprised I did because we were literally just hanging out talking and next thing I knew, we were driving the three hours from our home to see his college. We drove up in my 1971 Ford Torino. We had two near accidents (two of the worst near accidents I would say I've ever had, glad we're both still alive) and came home to two sets of irate/upset/anxiety ridden parents who wanted to know where we had disappeared to for seven hours (assuming we spent an hour in Oneonta). I recall saying there was a Delaware & Hudson yard in town and that was another good reason to go there. The things we do when we're young. |

D&H RS3u 505 |
Description: |
Delaware & Hudson RS3u 505, Bellwood, Illinois, February 25, 1976, photo by J. H. Nixon, Chuck Zeiler collection. The exhaust stack is sealed with tape, I would suppose this locomotive is pictured on its way back to the D&H after rebuilding at Morrison-Knudsen in Boise, Idaho. In late 1975, the D&H shipped 10 RS3's to M-K for rebuilding to M-K's TE 56-4A specifications, becoming RS3u's. Only eight RS3u's returned to the D&H (numbered 501-508), likely the other two units were used for parts. The orientation of the unit was reversed, and the short hood was chopped and became the front end. This particular unit was originally D&H RS3 4122 (c/n 80524), built August 1953. The major modification was the replacement of the Alco Model 12-cylinder 244D prime mover rated at 1600 hp with the 12-cylinder Model 251C rated at 2000 hp. The box on top of the hood behind the cab became the dynamic brake blower and resistors, re-located from the short hood. The long hood was raised six and a half inches to make room for the larger prime mover. Cooling, electrical, and control systems were all upgraded. This locomotive was scrapped in 1988. |

A set of power that has just come in off a southbound, probably RW 6, rolls back toward the north end of the yard as it prepares to go into the shop tracks. |

Title: |
Bicentennial unit |
Description: |
Looking a little worse for wear, the D&H RS3m that was painted red white and blue still holds its colors five years after the celebration. Like the previous year when I saw it at Oneonta, iit's July 4th. |
