Odd Duck out to pasture
Title:  Odd Duck out to pasture
Description:  Lima's 1200hp road switcher was only ever purchased by the New York Central, and would turn out to be the only road switcher model Lima would build. 6201 and a classmate sit awaiting a tow to the scrapyard, having been retired by this date. Two of this class would make it to Penn Central, only because they had been re-engined with EMD 567s. Harry L. Juday photo, from the Ralph L. Phillips collection of the Bay State Model Railroad Museum.

NYC A-3174 6210
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.

NYC A-3174 6210
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.

NYC A-3174 6210
Title:  NYC A-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 the book, "Diesel Locomotive Rosters", The Railroad Magazine Series, 16 of this model were built for the NYC as #5800-5815, renumbered 6200-6215, classed as DRSP-5a on the NYC. However, #'s 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.

NYC 6211
Title:  NYC 6211
Description:  Lima 1200hp road switcher 6211 was one of two to receive EMD 567 engines and keep their steam generators. The new engines gave two of the orphaned Limas a second chance, and both 6211 and 6210 would pass on to Penn Central. Unknown photographer, from the Ralph L. Phillips collection of the Bay State Model Railroad Museum.

PC LRS-1200 #8062 - Penn Central (ex-New York Central)
Title:  PC LRS-1200 #8062 - Penn Central (ex-New York Central)
Description:  This appears to be a transition photo of the rare 1950 Lima-Hamilton LRS-1200 unit (nee-NYC 5810, renmbrd 6210) wearing its new Penn Central number before the full PC black paint scheme was applied. Sixteen of these units were built only for NYC just before Lima-Hamilton merged with Baldwin in November of 1950. No date, location or photographer was listed for this photo so "guess-timates" were used.

Burlington, N.J." Penn Central #8062 is an LRS-1200 built by Lima-Hamilton as New York Central Railroad number "5810" in September of 1950, rated at 1,200 horsepower, later rebuilt with a GM-EMD prime mover, and renumbered "8062" in preparation for the PRR-NYC merger. This photo comes from a color slide set entitled "Fairbanks-Morse and Lima Diesels ~ Eastern and Canadian Roads" that's produced and distributed by Blackhawk Films of Davenport, Iowa (902-58).

PC 8062
Title:  PC 8062
Description:  PC 8062 is quite a rare bird. One of only two Lima diesels to make it onto PC's roster, it and sister engine no. 8063 were repowered with EMD 12-567B prime movers and EMD D4 generators by NYC. They retained their Westinghouse Electric type 362 traction motors. Larry Eastwood photo, from the Ralph L. Phillips collection of the Bay State Model Railroad Museum.
