The ALCO RS 2 is a 1,5. W B Broad switcherdiesel electric locomotive built by the American Locomotive Company ALCO from 1. ALCO introduced the model after World War II as an improvement on the ALCO RS 1. The locomotive was one of several road switchers in a crowded market, including the Baldwin DRS 4 4 1. EMD GP7, and FM H 1. ALCO discontinued the RS 2 in 1. ALCO RS 3. Several examples have been preserved. Design and developmenteditThe RS2 was a further development of the road switcher concept. It had more horsepower than the RS1, and was better suited for heavy road service. Externally, the RS2 bodywork was more rounded, while mechanically the new 2. A turbochargedfour stroke.

The 2. 44 engine was not a reliable design, however, and was replaced in less than ten years by the Alco 2. Historyedit3. 83 locomotives were produced 3.

Thirty one locomotives built by Alco between February and May 1. C 1,6. 00 horsepower 1,2. W engine. ALCO built the RS 2 to compete with EMD, Fairbanks Morse, and Baldwin Locomotive Works. In 1. 94. 7, Fairbanks Morse introduced the 1,5. MW H 1. 5 4. 4. Also in that year, Baldwin introduced the 1,5. MW DRS 4 4 1. In the case of ALCO, Fairbanks Morse, and Baldwin, each company increased the power of an existing locomotive line from 1,5. MW, and added more improvements to create new locomotive lines. EMD, however, kept its competing GP7 at 1,5. MW In 1. 95. 4, EMD introduced the GP9. It was rated at 1,7. MW. EMD produced 2,7. GP 7s. ALCO produced 3. RS 2s, and 1,3. 70 RS 3s.
