This B-B road switcher was a ubiquitous sight on American rails beginning in the 1950s as American Locomotive (ALCo) captured 40% of the diesel locomotive market. These locomotives went on to have long service lives with operators all across North America. Some examples still remain in use today.

Green Bay & Western

Running from Green Bay to Winona, the Green Bay & Western served Wisconsin for over 100 years. The GBW was known for their roster of ALCO locomotives, and it’s not surprising that they rostered several examples of the RS-3. Originally they wore a red paint scheme with a light grey stripe, which was later simplified into solid red with large GBW initials on the hood, as depicted by our model.


GBW FEATURES:

• Nathan P-3 horn

• Partially-blanked cab windows

• Steam-engine style bell

• Warning beacon on cab; working flash effect on DCC+sound models
