From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Baldwin AS-16 was a diesel-electric locomotive of the road switcher type rated at 1600 horsepower, that rode on two-axle trucks, having a B-B wheel arrangement. It was the successor to Baldwin's DRS-4-4-1500 model, and remained in the production until Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton quit the locomotive manufacturing business in 1956.
Nine railroads bought 127 locomotives, with five railroads having bought the previous model.
