Bowser introduces a classic Pennsylvania locomotive.

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. https://www.rgvrrm.org/about/railroad/lv211/ 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.
