The Delaware And Hudson Diesel Roster

The Delaware and Hudson diesel roster was a mix of EMD, Alco, and GE power with its sole operation of a Baldwin product the RF-16 “Sharknoses” it purchased from the Monogahela Railway in 1974. For a complete/all-time Delaware and Hudson diesel roster please click here. This list of surviving D&H diesel locomotives will be categorized by original numbers the railroad assigned its units and where they are today, whether in operation, cosmetically restored, or in some state of preservation at railroad museums and tourist railroads. Also, just as something to keep in mind if you are not aware, while some locomotives may be painted/preserved in D&H colors this does not necessarily mean that they are of D&H heritage (and likewise, some locomotives may be of D&H heritage that are not in D&H colors).

· Alco S4 #3045: Preserved by the Old Colony & Fall River Railroad Museum as Portland Terminal #1062.

· Alco RS3 #4082: Preserved by the Mohawk & Hudson Chapter of the National Railroad Historical Society as D&H #4082.

· Alco RS3 #4099: In operation by the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic as #4082.

· Alco RS3u #4112: In operation by the Tioga Central as #506.

· Alco RS11 #5011: Preserved by the Southern Appalachian Railroad Museum as D&H #5011.

· Alco RS36 #5017: Preserved by the Delaware & Ulster Railroad as D&H #5017.

· Alco RS36 #5019: Preserved by the Upper Hudson River Railroad as #5019.

· Alco C628 #610: Preserved by the Yucatan Railroad Museum as D&H #610.

Also, it should be noted that some former Delaware and Hudson switcher and road units continue to remain in some state of operation and in active revenue service with Class Is, Regionals, shortlines, or leasing companies.

While this list will continually be updated it certainly does not completely cover every surviving unit, which was on the Delaware and Hudson diesel roster. So, if you know of any other survivors out there, whether they are parked and gleaming in a museum or sitting out in the weeds along a forgotten siding please let me know so we can keep this list growing, and you will be given full credit for your help. For more information on the all types of classic diesel locomotives consider the book The American Diesel Locomotive from author Brian Solomon. The book studies everything from classic to newer diesel locomotive models. In the entire book is a great resource and you shouldn’t be disappointed with it, not to mention that it is loaded with photos (many in color)!
