The RSC-2 was essentially an Alco RS-2 on six axles. The 1,500-horsepower units, powered by Alco 244 series engines, were designed for branches and other lines with light rail. Their six axles spread out the weight on the rail by reducing per-axle weight. Like their four-axled brethren RS-2s, they were equally at home working freight and passenger runs. Owning railroads typically purchased them to work specific assignments on certain branch lines. On some roads they were later converted to RS-2s by adding two-axle trucks once the trackage on their lines was upgraded or abandoned. Their distinctive trucks and the scenic routes they typically plied have made them popular with fans and modelers.
