ALCO Road
Switchers Model RS-2
(Class 1 Roads)


 

After World War Two, ALCO recognized the market for a more powerful road switcher than it's 1000 h.p. RS-1. In 1946, the first 1,500 h.p. RS-2 was delivered to the Detroit & Mackinac. Alco went on to build some 366 of these work horses to 46 different North American and foreign roads and private companies between 1948 and 1950.

The Division Point and Ajin Precision will offer the RS-2 in various roads and paint schemes. Since many RS-2s served into the 1970s, later schemes will also be offered. You are well advised to contact your dealer to reserve yours!
