ALCO’s response was the “Century” Series of locomotives, designed to outperform their competitors with better quality components. In 1963, ALCO introduced the C-424, designed to replace their RS-27 model, outputting 2,400-horsepower. 98 units were produced from 1963 through 1967 for nine US and one Mexican railroad. Wabash’s seven were originally built for NdeM, but due to financing issues were resold to the Wabash. Around the same time the Montreal Locomotive Works, under license from ALCO, began producing their version of the C-424 for Canadian National and Canadian Pacific, totaling 92 units. The C-424 featured multiple phases, body variations, and even handrail positions. For only 183 locomotives built, they sure had many quirks. Early versions featured winged radiators (with smooth sides on the hood) and walkway-mounted handrails. Later versions had the signature ALCO “notch” and sill-mounted railings. The MLW versions were mostly built with nose-mounted headlights, Dofasco trucks and split-side 2,000 gallon fuel tanks. Later, CP modified their fleet heavily, which remained in service until 1998. The C-425 was cataloged as an “upgraded” C-425, outputting 100 more horsepower than its counterpart. The C-425 used the same 251C prime mover as their C-424 counterpart but used GE’s 598 main generator, which was also used on GE’s U25B series. The C-425s featured the normal ALCO “notch” ends, squared-off radiator sides and two phases: I and II. The Phase II models had razorback-style steps, larger sill cutouts, and both air tanks on the engineer’s side. 91 examples were built for six railroads — all American. Once again, of these 91 built, they featured many road-specific details. N\u0026amp;W ordered 18 with their usual high-hood specifications.

ALCO’s response was the “Century” Series of locomotives, designed to outperform their competitors with better quality components. In 1963, ALCO introduced the C-424, designed to replace their RS-27 model, outputting 2,400-horsepower. 98 units were produced from 1963 through 1967 for nine US and one Mexican railroad. Wabash’s seven were originally built for NdeM, but due to financing issues were resold to the Wabash. Around the same time the Montreal Locomotive Works, under license from ALCO, began producing their version of the C-424 for Canadian National and Canadian Pacific, totaling 92 units. The C-424 featured multiple phases, body variations, and even handrail positions. For only 183 locomotives built, they sure had many quirks. Early versions featured winged radiators (with smooth sides on the hood) and walkway-mounted handrails. Later versions had the signature ALCO “notch” and sill-mounted railings. The MLW versions were mostly built with nose-mounted headlights, Dofasco trucks and split-side 2,000 gallon fuel tanks. Later, CP modified their fleet heavily, which remained in service until 1998. The C-425 was cataloged as an “upgraded” C-425, outputting 100 more horsepower than its counterpart. The C-425 used the same 251C prime mover as their C-424 counterpart but used GE’s 598 main generator, which was also used on GE’s U25B series. The C-425s featured the normal ALCO “notch” ends, squared-off radiator sides and two phases: I and II. The Phase II models had razorback-style steps, larger sill cutouts, and both air tanks on the engineer’s side. 91 examples were built for six railroads — all American.

ALCO’s response was the “Century” Series of locomotives, designed to outperform their competitors with better quality components. In 1963, ALCO introduced the C-424, designed to replace their RS-27 model, outputting 2,400-horsepower. 98 units were produced from 1963 through 1967 for nine US and one Mexican railroad. Wabash’s seven were originally built for NdeM, but due to financing issues were resold to the Wabash. Around the same time the Montreal Locomotive Works, under license from ALCO, began producing their version of the C-424 for Canadian National and Canadian Pacific, totaling 92 units. The C-424 featured multiple phases, body variations, and even handrail positions. For only 183 locomotives built, they sure had many quirks. Early versions featured winged radiators (with smooth sides on the hood) and walkway-mounted handrails. Later versions had the signature ALCO “notch” and sill-mounted railings. The MLW versions were mostly built with nose-mounted headlights, Dofasco trucks and split-side 2,000 gallon fuel tanks. Later, CP modified their fleet heavily, which remained in service until 1998. The C-425 was cataloged as an “upgraded” C-425, outputting 100 more horsepower than its counterpart. The C-425 used the same 251C prime mover as their C-424 counterpart but used GE’s 598 main generator, which was also used on GE’s U25B series. The C-425s featured the normal ALCO “notch” ends, squared-off radiator sides and two phases: I and II. The Phase II models had razorback-style steps, larger sill cutouts, and both air tanks on the engineer’s side. 91 examples were built for six railroads — all American. Once again, of these 91 built, they featured many road-specific details. N\u0026amp;W ordered 18 with their usual high-hood specifications. PRR and NH requested a unique horizontal headlight so the horn could be fitted just above it for catenary clearance purposes.

ALCO’s response was the “Century” Series of locomotives, designed to outperform their competitors with better quality components. In 1963, ALCO introduced the C-424, designed to replace their RS-27 model, outputting 2,400-horsepower. 98 units were produced from 1963 through 1967 for nine US and one Mexican railroad. Wabash’s seven were originally built for NdeM, but due to financing issues were resold to the Wabash. Around the same time the Montreal Locomotive Works, under license from ALCO, began producing their version of the C-424 for Canadian National and Canadian Pacific, totaling 92 units. The C-424 featured multiple phases, body variations, and even handrail positions. For only 183 locomotives built, they sure had many quirks. Early versions featured winged radiators (with smooth sides on the hood) and walkway-mounted handrails. Later versions had the signature ALCO “notch” and sill-mounted railings. The MLW versions were mostly built with nose-mounted headlights, Dofasco trucks and split-side 2,000 gallon fuel tanks. Later, CP modified their fleet heavily, which remained in service until 1998. The C-425 was cataloged as an “upgraded” C-425, outputting 100 more horsepower than its counterpart. The C-425 used the same 251C prime mover as their C-424 counterpart but used GE’s 598 main generator, which was also used on GE’s U25B series. The C-425s featured the normal ALCO “notch” ends, squared-off radiator sides and two phases: I and II. The Phase II models had razorback-style steps, larger sill cutouts, and both air tanks on the engineer’s side. 91 examples were built for six railroads — all American. Once again, of these 91 built, they featured many road-specific details. N\u0026amp;W ordered 18 with their usual high-hood specifications. PRR and NH requested a unique horizontal headlight so the horn could be fitted just above it for catenary clearance purposes. Erie Lackawanna’s 12 were later sold to the British Columbia Railway, which became cult icons! Of the 271 C-424 and C-425s built, a large quantity remains in-service over 60 years after they rolled off ALCO’s Schenectady shop floor.

ALCO’s response was the “Century” Series of locomotives, designed to outperform their competitors with better quality components. In 1963, ALCO introduced the C-424, designed to replace their RS-27 model, outputting 2,400-horsepower. 98 units were produced from 1963 through 1967 for nine US and one Mexican railroad. Wabash’s seven were originally built for NdeM, but due to financing issues were resold to the Wabash. Around the same time the Montreal Locomotive Works, under license from ALCO, began producing their version of the C-424 for Canadian National and Canadian Pacific, totaling 92 units. The C-424 featured multiple phases, body variations, and even handrail positions. For only 183 locomotives built, they sure had many quirks. Early versions featured winged radiators (with smooth sides on the hood) and walkway-mounted handrails. Later versions had the signature ALCO “notch” and sill-mounted railings. The MLW versions were mostly built with nose-mounted headlights, Dofasco trucks and split-side 2,000 gallon fuel tanks. Later, CP modified their fleet heavily, which remained in service until 1998. The C-425 was cataloged as an “upgraded” C-425, outputting 100 more horsepower than its counterpart. The C-425 used the same 251C prime mover as their C-424 counterpart but used GE’s 598 main generator, which was also used on GE’s U25B series. The C-425s featured the normal ALCO “notch” ends, squared-off radiator sides and two phases: I and II. The Phase II models had razorback-style steps, larger sill cutouts, and both air tanks on the engineer’s side. 91 examples were built for six railroads — all American. Once again, of these 91 built, they featured many road-specific details. N\u0026amp;W ordered 18 with their usual high-hood specifications. PRR and NH requested a unique horizontal headlight so the horn could be fitted just above it for catenary clearance purposes. Erie Lackawanna’s 12 were later sold to the British Columbia Railway, which became cult icons! Of the 271 C-424 and C-425s built, a large quantity remains in-service over 60 years after they rolled off ALCO’s Schenectady shop floor.

ALCO’s response was the “Century” Series of locomotives, designed to outperform their competitors with better quality components. In 1963, ALCO introduced the C-424, designed to replace their RS-27 model, outputting 2,400-horsepower. 98 units were produced from 1963 through 1967 for nine US and one Mexican railroad. Wabash’s seven were originally built for NdeM, but due to financing issues were resold to the Wabash. Around the same time the Montreal Locomotive Works, under license from ALCO, began producing their version of the C-424 for Canadian National and Canadian Pacific, totaling 92 units. The C-424 featured multiple phases, body variations, and even handrail positions. For only 183 locomotives built, they sure had many quirks. Early versions featured winged radiators (with smooth sides on the hood) and walkway-mounted handrails. Later versions had the signature ALCO “notch” and sill-mounted railings. The MLW versions were mostly built with nose-mounted headlights, Dofasco trucks and split-side 2,000 gallon fuel tanks. Later, CP modified their fleet heavily, which remained in service until 1998. The C-425 was cataloged as an “upgraded” C-425, outputting 100 more horsepower than its counterpart. The C-425 used the same 251C prime mover as their C-424 counterpart but used GE’s 598 main generator, which was also used on GE’s U25B series. The C-425s featured the normal ALCO “notch” ends, squared-off radiator sides and two phases: I and II. The Phase II models had razorback-style steps, larger sill cutouts, and both air tanks on the engineer’s side. 91 examples were built for six railroads — all American. Once again, of these 91 built, they featured many road-specific details. N\u0026amp;W ordered 18 with their usual high-hood specifications. PRR and NH requested a unique horizontal headlight so the horn could be fitted just above it for catenary clearance purposes. Erie Lackawanna’s 12 were later sold to the British Columbia Railway, which became cult icons! Of the 271 C-424 and C-425s built, a large quantity remains in-service over 60 years after they rolled off ALCO’s Schenectady shop floor.

ALCO’s response was the “Century” Series of locomotives, designed to outperform their competitors with better quality components. In 1963, ALCO introduced the C-424, designed to replace their RS-27 model, outputting 2,400-horsepower. 98 units were produced from 1963 through 1967 for nine US and one Mexican railroad. Wabash’s seven were originally built for NdeM, but due to financing issues were resold to the Wabash. Around the same time the Montreal Locomotive Works, under license from ALCO, began producing their version of the C-424 for Canadian National and Canadian Pacific, totaling 92 units. The C-424 featured multiple phases, body variations, and even handrail positions. For only 183 locomotives built, they sure had many quirks. Early versions featured winged radiators (with smooth sides on the hood) and walkway-mounted handrails. Later versions had the signature ALCO “notch” and sill-mounted railings. The MLW versions were mostly built with nose-mounted headlights, Dofasco trucks and split-side 2,000 gallon fuel tanks. Later, CP modified their fleet heavily, which remained in service until 1998. The C-425 was cataloged as an “upgraded” C-425, outputting 100 more horsepower than its counterpart. The C-425 used the same 251C prime mover as their C-424 counterpart but used GE’s 598 main generator, which was also used on GE’s U25B series. The C-425s featured the normal ALCO “notch” ends, squared-off radiator sides and two phases: I and II. The Phase II models had razorback-style steps, larger sill cutouts, and both air tanks on the engineer’s side. 91 examples were built for six railroads — all American. Once again, of these 91 built, they featured many road-specific details. N\u0026amp;W ordered 18 with their usual high-hood specifications.

ALCO’s response was the “Century” Series of locomotives, designed to outperform their competitors with better quality components. In 1963, ALCO introduced the C-424, designed to replace their RS-27 model, outputting 2,400-horsepower. 98 units were produced from 1963 through 1967 for nine US and one Mexican railroad. Wabash’s seven were originally built for NdeM, but due to financing issues were resold to the Wabash. Around the same time the Montreal Locomotive Works, under license from ALCO, began producing their version of the C-424 for Canadian National and Canadian Pacific, totaling 92 units. The C-424 featured multiple phases, body variations, and even handrail positions. For only 183 locomotives built, they sure had many quirks. Early versions featured winged radiators (with smooth sides on the hood) and walkway-mounted handrails. Later versions had the signature ALCO “notch” and sill-mounted railings. The MLW versions were mostly built with nose-mounted headlights, Dofasco trucks and split-side 2,000 gallon fuel tanks. Later, CP modified their fleet heavily, which remained in service until 1998. The C-425 was cataloged as an “upgraded” C-425, outputting 100 more horsepower than its counterpart. The C-425 used the same 251C prime mover as their C-424 counterpart but used GE’s 598 main generator, which was also used on GE’s U25B series. The C-425s featured the normal ALCO “notch” ends, squared-off radiator sides and two phases: I and II. The Phase II models had razorback-style steps, larger sill cutouts, and both air tanks on the engineer’s side. 91 examples were built for six railroads — all American. Once again, of these 91 built, they featured many road-specific details. N\u0026amp;W ordered 18 with their usual high-hood specifications. PRR and NH requested a unique horizontal headlight so the horn could be fitted just above it for catenary clearance purposes.

ALCO’s response was the “Century” Series of locomotives, designed to outperform their competitors with better quality components. In 1963, ALCO introduced the C-424, designed to replace their RS-27 model, outputting 2,400-horsepower. 98 units were produced from 1963 through 1967 for nine US and one Mexican railroad. Wabash’s seven were originally built for NdeM, but due to financing issues were resold to the Wabash. Around the same time the Montreal Locomotive Works, under license from ALCO, began producing their version of the C-424 for Canadian National and Canadian Pacific, totaling 92 units. The C-424 featured multiple phases, body variations, and even handrail positions. For only 183 locomotives built, they sure had many quirks. Early versions featured winged radiators (with smooth sides on the hood) and walkway-mounted handrails. Later versions had the signature ALCO “notch” and sill-mounted railings. The MLW versions were mostly built with nose-mounted headlights, Dofasco trucks and split-side 2,000 gallon fuel tanks. Later, CP modified their fleet heavily, which remained in service until 1998. The C-425 was cataloged as an “upgraded” C-425, outputting 100 more horsepower than its counterpart. The C-425 used the same 251C prime mover as their C-424 counterpart but used GE’s 598 main generator, which was also used on GE’s U25B series. The C-425s featured the normal ALCO “notch” ends, squared-off radiator sides and two phases: I and II. The Phase II models had razorback-style steps, larger sill cutouts, and both air tanks on the engineer’s side. 91 examples were built for six railroads — all American. Once again, of these 91 built, they featured many road-specific details. N\u0026amp;W ordered 18 with their usual high-hood specifications. PRR and NH requested a unique horizontal headlight so the horn could be fitted just above it for catenary clearance purposes. Erie Lackawanna’s 12 were later sold to the British Columbia Railway, which became cult icons!

ALCO’s response was the “Century” Series of locomotives, designed to outperform their competitors with better quality components. In 1963, ALCO introduced the C-424, designed to replace their RS-27 model, outputting 2,400-horsepower. 98 units were produced from 1963 through 1967 for nine US and one Mexican railroad. Wabash’s seven were originally built for NdeM, but due to financing issues were resold to the Wabash. Around the same time the Montreal Locomotive Works, under license from ALCO, began producing their version of the C-424 for Canadian National and Canadian Pacific, totaling 92 units. The C-424 featured multiple phases, body variations, and even handrail positions. For only 183 locomotives built, they sure had many quirks. Early versions featured winged radiators (with smooth sides on the hood) and walkway-mounted handrails. Later versions had the signature ALCO “notch” and sill-mounted railings. The MLW versions were mostly built with nose-mounted headlights, Dofasco trucks and split-side 2,000 gallon fuel tanks. Later, CP modified their fleet heavily, which remained in service until 1998. The C-425 was cataloged as an “upgraded” C-425, outputting 100 more horsepower than its counterpart. The C-425 used the same 251C prime mover as their C-424 counterpart but used GE’s 598 main generator, which was also used on GE’s U25B series. The C-425s featured the normal ALCO “notch” ends, squared-off radiator sides and two phases: I and II. The Phase II models had razorback-style steps, larger sill cutouts, and both air tanks on the engineer’s side. 91 examples were built for six railroads — all American. Once again, of these 91 built, they featured many road-specific details. N\u0026amp;W ordered 18 with their usual high-hood specifications. PRR and NH requested a unique horizontal headlight so the horn could be fitted just above it for catenary clearance purposes. Erie Lackawanna’s 12 were later sold to the British Columbia Railway, which became cult icons! Of the 271 C-424 and C-425s built, a large quantity remains in-service over 60 years after they rolled off ALCO’s Schenectady shop floor.

ALCO’s response was the “Century” Series of locomotives, designed to outperform their competitors with better quality components. In 1963, ALCO introduced the C-424, designed to replace their RS-27 model, outputting 2,400-horsepower. 98 units were produced from 1963 through 1967 for nine US and one Mexican railroad. Wabash’s seven were originally built for NdeM, but due to financing issues were resold to the Wabash. Around the same time the Montreal Locomotive Works, under license from ALCO, began producing their version of the C-424 for Canadian National and Canadian Pacific, totaling 92 units. The C-424 featured multiple phases, body variations, and even handrail positions. For only 183 locomotives built, they sure had many quirks. Early versions featured winged radiators (with smooth sides on the hood) and walkway-mounted handrails. Later versions had the signature ALCO “notch” and sill-mounted railings. The MLW versions were mostly built with nose-mounted headlights, Dofasco trucks and split-side 2,000 gallon fuel tanks. Later, CP modified their fleet heavily, which remained in service until 1998. The C-425 was cataloged as an “upgraded” C-425, outputting 100 more horsepower than its counterpart. The C-425 used the same 251C prime mover as their C-424 counterpart but used GE’s 598 main generator, which was also used on GE’s U25B series. The C-425s featured the normal ALCO “notch” ends, squared-off radiator sides and two phases: I and II. The Phase II models had razorback-style steps, larger sill cutouts, and both air tanks on the engineer’s side. 91 examples were built for six railroads — all American. Once again, of these 91 built, they featured many road-specific details. N\u0026amp;W ordered 18 with their usual high-hood specifications. PRR and NH requested a unique horizontal headlight so the horn could be fitted just above it for catenary clearance purposes. Erie Lackawanna’s 12 were later sold to the British Columbia Railway, which became cult icons! Of the 271 C-424 and C-425s built, a large quantity remains in-service over 60 years after they rolled off ALCO’s Schenectady shop floor.

ALCO’s response was the “Century” Series of locomotives, designed to outperform their competitors with better quality components. In 1963, ALCO introduced the C-424, designed to replace their RS-27 model, outputting 2,400-horsepower. 98 units were produced from 1963 through 1967 for nine US and one Mexican railroad. Wabash’s seven were originally built for NdeM, but due to financing issues were resold to the Wabash. Around the same time the Montreal Locomotive Works, under license from ALCO, began producing their version of the C-424 for Canadian National and Canadian Pacific, totaling 92 units. The C-424 featured multiple phases, body variations, and even handrail positions. For only 183 locomotives built, they sure had many quirks. Early versions featured winged radiators (with smooth sides on the hood) and walkway-mounted handrails. Later versions had the signature ALCO “notch” and sill-mounted railings. The MLW versions were mostly built with nose-mounted headlights, Dofasco trucks and split-side 2,000 gallon fuel tanks. Later, CP modified their fleet heavily, which remained in service until 1998. The C-425 was cataloged as an “upgraded” C-425, outputting 100 more horsepower than its counterpart. The C-425 used the same 251C prime mover as their C-424 counterpart but used GE’s 598 main generator, which was also used on GE’s U25B series. The C-425s featured the normal ALCO “notch” ends, squared-off radiator sides and two phases: I and II. The Phase II models had razorback-style steps, larger sill cutouts, and both air tanks on the engineer’s side. 91 examples were built for six railroads — all American. Once again, of these 91 built, they featured many road-specific details. N\u0026amp;W ordered 18 with their usual high-hood specifications.

ALCO’s response was the “Century” Series of locomotives, designed to outperform their competitors with better quality components. In 1963, ALCO introduced the C-424, designed to replace their RS-27 model, outputting 2,400-horsepower. 98 units were produced from 1963 through 1967 for nine US and one Mexican railroad. Wabash’s seven were originally built for NdeM, but due to financing issues were resold to the Wabash. Around the same time the Montreal Locomotive Works, under license from ALCO, began producing their version of the C-424 for Canadian National and Canadian Pacific, totaling 92 units. The C-424 featured multiple phases, body variations, and even handrail positions. For only 183 locomotives built, they sure had many quirks. Early versions featured winged radiators (with smooth sides on the hood) and walkway-mounted handrails. Later versions had the signature ALCO “notch” and sill-mounted railings. The MLW versions were mostly built with nose-mounted headlights, Dofasco trucks and split-side 2,000 gallon fuel tanks. Later, CP modified their fleet heavily, which remained in service until 1998. The C-425 was cataloged as an “upgraded” C-425, outputting 100 more horsepower than its counterpart. The C-425 used the same 251C prime mover as their C-424 counterpart but used GE’s 598 main generator, which was also used on GE’s U25B series. The C-425s featured the normal ALCO “notch” ends, squared-off radiator sides and two phases: I and II. The Phase II models had razorback-style steps, larger sill cutouts, and both air tanks on the engineer’s side. 91 examples were built for six railroads — all American.

ALCO’s response was the “Century” Series of locomotives, designed to outperform their competitors with better quality components. In 1963, ALCO introduced the C-424, designed to replace their RS-27 model, outputting 2,400-horsepower. 98 units were produced from 1963 through 1967 for nine US and one Mexican railroad. Wabash’s seven were originally built for NdeM, but due to financing issues were resold to the Wabash. Around the same time the Montreal Locomotive Works, under license from ALCO, began producing their version of the C-424 for Canadian National and Canadian Pacific, totaling 92 units. The C-424 featured multiple phases, body variations, and even handrail positions. For only 183 locomotives built, they sure had many quirks. Early versions featured winged radiators (with smooth sides on the hood) and walkway-mounted handrails. Later versions had the signature ALCO “notch” and sill-mounted railings. The MLW versions were mostly built with nose-mounted headlights, Dofasco trucks and split-side 2,000 gallon fuel tanks. Later, CP modified their fleet heavily, which remained in service until 1998. The C-425 was cataloged as an “upgraded” C-425, outputting 100 more horsepower than its counterpart. The C-425 used the same 251C prime mover as their C-424 counterpart but used GE’s 598 main generator, which was also used on GE’s U25B series. The C-425s featured the normal ALCO “notch” ends, squared-off radiator sides and two phases: I and II. The Phase II models had razorback-style steps, larger sill cutouts, and both air tanks on the engineer’s side. 91 examples were built for six railroads — all American. Once again, of these 91 built, they featured many road-specific details. N\u0026amp;W ordered 18 with their usual high-hood specifications. PRR and NH requested a unique horizontal headlight so the horn could be fitted just above it for catenary clearance purposes. Erie Lackawanna’s 12 were later sold to the British Columbia Railway, which became cult icons!

ALCO’s response was the “Century” Series of locomotives, designed to outperform their competitors with better quality components. In 1963, ALCO introduced the C-424, designed to replace their RS-27 model, outputting 2,400-horsepower. 98 units were produced from 1963 through 1967 for nine US and one Mexican railroad. Wabash’s seven were originally built for NdeM, but due to financing issues were resold to the Wabash. Around the same time the Montreal Locomotive Works, under license from ALCO, began producing their version of the C-424 for Canadian National and Canadian Pacific, totaling 92 units. The C-424 featured multiple phases, body variations, and even handrail positions. For only 183 locomotives built, they sure had many quirks. Early versions featured winged radiators (with smooth sides on the hood) and walkway-mounted handrails. Later versions had the signature ALCO “notch” and sill-mounted railings. The MLW versions were mostly built with nose-mounted headlights, Dofasco trucks and split-side 2,000 gallon fuel tanks. Later, CP modified their fleet heavily, which remained in service until 1998. The C-425 was cataloged as an “upgraded” C-425, outputting 100 more horsepower than its counterpart. The C-425 used the same 251C prime mover as their C-424 counterpart but used GE’s 598 main generator, which was also used on GE’s U25B series. The C-425s featured the normal ALCO “notch” ends, squared-off radiator sides and two phases: I and II. The Phase II models had razorback-style steps, larger sill cutouts, and both air tanks on the engineer’s side. 91 examples were built for six railroads — all American. Once again, of these 91 built, they featured many road-specific details. N\u0026amp;W ordered 18 with their usual high-hood specifications. PRR and NH requested a unique horizontal headlight so the horn could be fitted just above it for catenary clearance purposes. Erie Lackawanna’s 12 were later sold to the British Columbia Railway, which became cult icons! Of the 271 C-424 and C-425s built, a large quantity remains in-service over 60 years after they rolled off ALCO’s Schenectady shop floor.

ALCO’s response was the “Century” Series of locomotives, designed to outperform their competitors with better quality components. In 1963, ALCO introduced the C-424, designed to replace their RS-27 model, outputting 2,400-horsepower. 98 units were produced from 1963 through 1967 for nine US and one Mexican railroad. Wabash’s seven were originally built for NdeM, but due to financing issues were resold to the Wabash. Around the same time the Montreal Locomotive Works, under license from ALCO, began producing their version of the C-424 for Canadian National and Canadian Pacific, totaling 92 units. The C-424 featured multiple phases, body variations, and even handrail positions. For only 183 locomotives built, they sure had many quirks. Early versions featured winged radiators (with smooth sides on the hood) and walkway-mounted handrails. Later versions had the signature ALCO “notch” and sill-mounted railings. The MLW versions were mostly built with nose-mounted headlights, Dofasco trucks and split-side 2,000 gallon fuel tanks. Later, CP modified their fleet heavily, which remained in service until 1998. The C-425 was cataloged as an “upgraded” C-425, outputting 100 more horsepower than its counterpart. The C-425 used the same 251C prime mover as their C-424 counterpart but used GE’s 598 main generator, which was also used on GE’s U25B series. The C-425s featured the normal ALCO “notch” ends, squared-off radiator sides and two phases: I and II. The Phase II models had razorback-style steps, larger sill cutouts, and both air tanks on the engineer’s side. 91 examples were built for six railroads — all American. Once again, of these 91 built, they featured many road-specific details. N\u0026amp;W ordered 18 with their usual high-hood specifications. PRR and NH requested a unique horizontal headlight so the horn could be fitted just above it for catenary clearance purposes. Erie Lackawanna’s 12 were later sold to the British Columbia Railway, which became cult icons! Of the 271 C-424 and C-425s built, a large quantity remains in-service over 60 years after they rolled off ALCO’s Schenectady shop floor. Our Century models include all the features and details you’ve come to expect from a Rapido model and then some!
