The 1,500-horsepower units were designed for versatility - they were equally at home working road freights or switch runs. If equipped with a steam generator, they were adept at working commuter and secondary passenger runs. Production began in 1946 with just over 350 units constructed for U.S. and Canadian roads before the unit was succeeded by the 1,600-horsepower RS-3 in 1950 (although a few late RS-2s were rated at 1,600 horsepower).   RS-2s have worked for Class I, shortline and industrial lines across the continent. The engines have been long lived, with one survivor still holding down daily freight duties in 2007. A few others still see service at museum and tourist lines.   Alco RS-2 B&M #1501 B&M #1504 D&H #4005 D&H #4018 Lehigh & New England #652 Lehigh & New England #655 Monon #25 Monon #28 NH #0509 (Full Balloon) NH #0513 (Full Balloon) EL #909 (Full Balloon) EL #911 (Full Balloon) Rock Island #450 (black, red Hot Dog Logo) Rock Island #452 (black, red Hot Dog Logo) WM #182 (Fireball) WM #183 (Fireball) MP #956 (solid blue) MP #958 (solid blue) CP #8403 (gray, maroon) CP #8407 (gray, maroon) Also Available: Erie #906 Erie #913 GM&O #1504 GM&O #1506 GN #204 GN #207 LV #210 LV #212 NH #0503 NH #0510 NYC #8209 NYC #8213 SAL #1608 SAL #1619 SOU #2119 SOU #2127 UP® #1291 UP® #1295 SLSF Frisco #550 (black, yellow) SLSF Frisco #551 (black, yellow) Undecorated
