Title:
NYC A-3174 6210
Description:
New York Central Lima-Hamilton A-3174 #6210, Englewood, Chicago, Illinois, March 14, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Lima-Hamilton did not have model numbers for their diesel-electric locomotives, but used a specification number, in this case, A-3174. This locomotive was built as #5810 in September 1950 (c/n 9433) on order #1217-DE, that order placed on February 6, 1950. It was one of 16 of this model built by L-H for the NYC, ordered to replace steam power on the NYC's suburban operations in the New York City area. The NYC's 16 A-3174 road switchers may have been the only copies ever built. It appears to have been modified by NYC, the two diesel exhaust stacks are not L-H issue. As built, this locomotive had a single exhaust stack similar to an Alco RS3. I might speculate that it may have been re-powered with an EMD prime mover. On August 4, 1950, Baldwin announced publicly that it was conducting merger talks with Lima-Hamilton, and on the last day of November 1950, Baldwin and L-H became Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton Corporation, and with that, the L-H locomotive Division became an endangered species. The task at hand was to complete the orders on the books, and convert L-H's operations to manufacture power shovels and cranes. The final locomotive built by L-H was a 2500 hp center cab transfer locomotive for the PRR (#5683), completed September 11, 1951, and with that, the final tally was 174 diesel-electric locomotives (all models) constructed by the Lima-Hamilton Corporation.

Title:
NYC A-3174 6210
Description:
New York Central Lima-Hamilton A-3174 6210, Englewood, Chicago, Illinois, March 14, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built on order #1217-DE (order placed February 6, 1950), construction #'s 9423-9438, for 16 1200 hp road switchers, delivered as #5800-5815. Numbers 5800-5801 built August 1950, #'s 5802-5811 built September 1950, 5812-5815 built October 1950. The units weighed 247,500 lbs. I also found a reference to re-numbering in a book entitled, "Railroad Locomotive Rosters", stating that the 5800-5815 series was re-numbered 6200-6215, classed as DRSP-5a, and that #'s 6200-6204, 6206-6209, 6212-6215 had steam generators removed and re-classed DRS-5a, T.E. 60,200, weight 240,800. In looking at photos of similar models from Lima-Hamilton, they have a single rectangular exhaust stack, oriented lengthwise on the hood, located forward near the radiator. This exhaust arrangement is not Lima-Hamilton, and I cannot find reference to an EMD re-engine job at Andre's Serial number site, so perhaps this is a re-engine job by the NYC.

Title:
NYC @-3174 6210
Description:
New York Central Lima-Hamilton A-3174 #6210, built September 1950 (c/n 9433) at Englewood, Chicago, Illinois, March 14, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Lima-Hamilton did not have diesel locomotive model numbers, using instead a specification number, in this case A-3174. The specifications for this model were: a Hamilton Model T-89-SA four cycle 1200 horsepower turbocharged eight cylinder diesel prime mover, coupled to a Westinghouse 499A main generator powering four 362D traction motors. The electrical equipment was supplied by Westinghouse. The trucks were General Steel Castings Type B Swing Bolster with 40 inch wheels geared for 60 mph. It carried 800 gallons of fuel, 40 cubic feet of sand, 145 gallons of lube oil, 225 gallons of engine cooling water, and 800 gallons of water for the steam generator, which produced 1600 pounds of steam per hour. They weighed 247,500 pounds as built. According to tVe book, "Diesel Locomotive Rosters", The Railroad Magazine Series, 16 oa this model were built for the NYC as #5800-5815, renumbered 6200-6215, classed as DRSP-5a on the NYC. However, #'q 6200-6204, 6206-6209, 6212-6215 had the steam generators removed, were re-classed as DRS-5a, and thus weighed 240,800 pounds, and produced 60,200 pounds of tractive effort. As far as I can tell, these were the only examples of the A-3174 built by L-H.
