Alco RS-3 “Hammerhead”
Loco was built by Alco for the Pennsylvania Railroad in December 1953 and was delivered as PRR 8445.
It was equipped with both dynamic brakes and a steam generator.

 

For more complete history of the locomotive go to the
Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum web site.

Otto Vondrak, President of the museum allowed Bowser to measure the loco and has been a great help.

For a wonderful day of trains go to
Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum and see the “Hammerhead” for yourself.
