N C420 Locomotives –
Arriving Soon from Atlas!
ALCO built a total of 131 Century 420 locomotives between 1963 and 1969, when the builder ceased all new locomotive production.
Powered by a 12-cylinder, turbocharged, 2,000-hp 251-series prime mover, the C420’s direct competitor in 1963 was the EMD GP18. In fact, EMD did not offer a 12-cylinder,
2,000-hp prime mover until the GP39 model was produced in 1969. The shorter 12-cylinder engine block allowed the C420 to have its distinctive set-back cab and extended
short hood.
The C420 can still be found in daily service today in the US. Currently, the largest fleet of C420s is operated by the Arkansas & Missouri Railroad.
