Delaware & Hudson Diesel Roster (All-Time)

Last revised: September 14, 2026

By: Adam Burns

The Delaware & Hudson dieselized with Alco sitting on the railroad. Schenectady was a station, not a catalog. The first S-2 switchers arrived in 1944. Steam was gone by about 1953. For the next twenty years almost every new road unit and yard goat was an Alco: S-2s and S-4s, twenty-six RS-2s, more than a hundred RS-3s, then RS-11s, RS-36s, C-420s, and eighteen C-628s. GE U-boats, three EMD SD45s, four secondhand PA-1s, and a pair of Baldwin RF-16s broke the monopoly. After Conrail’s start on April 1, 1976, Lehigh Valley GP38-2s and C-420s, Reading GP39-2s, and twenty new GP39-2s made the roster look like everyone else’s. The company story is the Delaware & Hudson. Steam is the steam roster. This page is the diesels.

The fleet

Yard work started with Alco S-2s (3000–3032) and S-4s (3033–3050). Road-switchers followed: RS-2s 4000–4025 (1946–49), two Montreal-built RS-2s lettered for subsidiary Napierville Junction (4050–4051), and RS-3s 4026–4129 (1950–53), the backbone of freight on the coal routes through New York, Pennsylvania, and Vermont. RS-11s 5000–5011 and RS-36s 5012–5023 kept the Alco 251 in the 1960s. Six of the RS-11s (5000–5005) had been built and painted as New York Central 8009–8014; the Central never accepted them, and the D&H took them in January 1961.

Heavier trains needed six motors. Alco delivered eighteen C-628s, 601–618, in 1964 and 1965—a large order for a railroad of this size, though not the biggest C-628 block (Norfolk & Western took thirty, Southern Pacific twenty-five plus the four demonstrators). The D&H sampled EMD in 1967 with three SD45 demonstrators, 801–803, its only new EMD road power until the 1970s. Those three went to Erie Lackawanna in March 1969 in trade for U33Cs 3301–3303, which became D&H 751–753; the trade reversed in December 1975, and the SD45s came home until they were sold to NdeM in 1978. GE had already entered with U30Cs 701–712 (1967) and new U33Cs 754–762 (1970). Sixteen U23Bs, first 301–316 then 2301–2316, handled four-axle road work; 312 wore 1776 for the Bicentennial.

The celebrated chapter is the four ex-Santa Fe PA-1s. Frederic C. Dumaine Jr. bought ATSF 59-L, 60-L, 62-L, and 66-L in December 1967 and numbered them 16–19. A fifth carbody, New Haven 0783, supplied parts. They wore blue, yellow, and silver on the Warbonnet outline—Lightning Stripe, not a gray passenger scheme. Morrison-Knudsen rebuilt them at Boise in 1975 as PA-4s with 2,400-horsepower 251F engines. They handled the Laurentian, then Amtrak’s Adirondack, then a short MBTA lease, and went to Ferrocarriles Nacionales de México in 1978. All four carbodies survive: 18, restored as Nickel Plate 190, is operational on Genesee Valley Transportation’s Delaware-Lackawanna (debut July 11, 2025); 16 is under restoration at the Museum of the American Railroad in Frisco, Texas; 17 and 19 remain in Mexico.

As Alco parts thinned, Colonie and contractors kept the fleet alive. Morrison-Knudsen rebuilt eight RS-3s as RS-3ms (TE-56-4A), 501–508, in 1975–76; 506 was delivered as Bicentennial 1976. Two Baldwin RF-16s, 1205 and 1216, arrived in 1974 from the Monongahela; that pair has its own page. Conrail’s start on April 1, 1976, dumped directed equipment on a railroad that had stayed out of the merger: Lehigh Valley C-420s 404–415, Lehigh Valley GP38-2s 314–325 as D&H 7314–7325, and Reading GP39-2s 3401–3420 as 7401–7420, plus twenty new GP39-2s, 7601–7620, from La Grange. Long Island C-420s 200–211 were leased in 1977, still in MTA paint with a D&H shield, and left that December. GE at Hornell rebuilt nine secondhand C-424s as C-424ms 451–456 and 461–463 in 1980. Guilford closed on January 4, 1984. Most remaining Alcos were retired or sold by the June 20, 1988, bankruptcy. Canadian Pacific bought the railroad in January 1991. The Conrail-rights years also put foreign-line power on D&H trains; the tables below are units the railroad owned or lettered, plus that 1977 Long Island lease.

How to read this roster

Numbers were reused. RS-3 4123 (1st) and RS-2 4123 (2nd) are different locomotives. RS-3s 4075 and 4082 each had a second carbody. U23Bs 301–316 became 2301–2316; 315 was scrapped before the renumber. GP38-2s later wore 220-series and 7300-series numbers under Guilford and CP. GP39-2s 7401–7420 later wore Guilford 370-series numbers. U33Cs 758, 759, 761, and 762 became 658, 659, 661, and 662 in 1985. Completion dates are builder months. Retirement columns mix sold, scrapped, and last-on-roster dates as the surviving shop records give them.

C-420 (Class ARS-20)

200–211 were leased from the Long Island in 1977, still in MTA paint, and left in December 1977. 404–415 came from the Lehigh Valley on April 1, 1976. 401 is a later purchase: Lehigh & Hudson River 29 via Conrail 2077, on the roster about 1980, later Guilford 420.
